NOTE FROM A GOVERNOR.

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...

Analysis of chaotic vibration in a hexagonal centrifugal governor system

In this paper, the periodic, quasi periodic and chaotic responses of rotational machines with a hexagonal centrifugal governor are studied. The external disturbance is assumed as a sinusoid effect. By using the forth order Rung-Kutta numerical integration method, bifurcation diagram, largest Lyapunov exponent and Lyapunov dimension are calculated and presented to detect the critical controlling...

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...
