The transfer function of the governor of ig. 12.4 reduces to the form as shown in ig. 12.5.<br />

This type of governor may be characterized as proportional controller with a gain 1/R.<br />

12.6 SPEED REGULATION (DROOP)<br />

The value of speed regulation parameter R determines the steady-state frequency versus load<br />

characteristic of the generating unit as shown in ig. 12.6. The ratio of frequency deviation (Df )<br />

to change in valve/gate position(DE) or power output(DP g) is equal to R. The parameter R is<br />

referred to as speed regulation or droop. It can be expressed as:<br />

percent frequency change<br />

Percent R =<br />

´ 100 ...(12.1)<br />

percent power output change<br />

or example, a 4% droop or regulation means that a 4% frequency deviation causes 100%<br />

change in valve position or power output.<br />
