OFDM average power

P.S. In real circuits, power factor (the cosine of the angle between
voltage and current) matters. As PF goes to zero, PAR goes to infinity.

I think you are thinking about PF issues with power supplies with small
conduction angles and non sinusoidal current waveforms due to cap input
filters.... ,  the traditional PF caused by sinusoidal current and
voltage out of phase does not impact PAR.

Oh? How do you define peak-to-average power ratio? I think it's
(peak power)/(average power). When PF is zero, so is average power. It 
is zero because the positive power and negative power cancel. I'll show 
more analysis if you ask for it.
