Modelling of hydraulic governor-turbine for control stabilisation

Power system performance is affected by dynamic characteristics of hydraulic governor-turbines during and following any disturbance, such as occurrence of a fault, loss of a transmission line or a rapid change of load. Accurate modelling of hydraulic governor-turbines is essential to characterise and diagnose the system response during an emergency. In this article, both detailed and simplified...

Governor Report Template

Previous panel papers have described testing for NERC and WSCC compliance [A] and testing and tuning of governors for compliance and island-mode performance [B]. This paper presents experience with testing of gas turbine plants for NERC and WSCC compliance. Testing has been performed on older analog-electronic and new digital-electronic units. The level of detail used in modeling and model avai...

Summability with a Governor of Integral Order

Remarks by Governor Ben S

Achieving and maintaining price stability is the bedrock principle of a sound monetary policy. Price stability promotes economic growth and welfare by increasing the efficiency of the market mechanism, facilitating long-term planning, and minimizing distortions created by the interaction of inflation and the tax code, accounting rules, financial contracts, and the like. Price stability also inc...

Command Governor-Based Adaptive Control

Even though an important prerequisite for an adaptive controller is the ability to adapt fast in the face of large system uncertainties, fast adaptation with high-gain learning rates can be a serious limitation due to the fact that it can possibly yield to high-frequency oscillations especially during the transient system response. Therefore, achieving fast adaptation with low-gain learning rat...
