Governor Model P ref P v Without a governor, the generator speed drops significantly when load increases r / r The speed governor closes the loop of negative feedback control For stable operation, The governor reduces (does not eliminate) the speed drop due to load increase. Usually, speed regulation is 5 6% from zero to full load Governor output r / is compared to the change in the reference power P ref P g = P ref r / The difference P g is then transformed through the hydraulic amplifier to the steam valve/gate position command P v with time constant g r / (s) Governor steady-state speed characteristics (i.e. how the speed drops as load increases) 11
Turbine Model P v P m The prime mover, i.e. the source of mechanical power, may be a hydraulic turbine at water falls, a steam turbine burning coal and nuclear fuel, or a gas turbine The model for the turbine relates changes in mechanical power output P m to changes in gate or valve position P V T is in 0.2 2.0 seconds 12
