Design and Implementation of an Adaptive Electronic Speed Governor

Abstract

In this paper the role of the speed governor and some of its techniques are reviewed. The adopted governor is an electronic speed governor based mainly on analogue computations. Here the speed of the prime mover is governed by an analogue signal extracted from the real frequency of the voltage generated by the coupled alternator. The implemented system senses frequencies in the range of ±10% of the nominal frequency (fo) of the generated voltage and tends to fix the frequency of the generated voltage at fo .The system is identified by a fast and controllable response. The associated errors of the whole system are almost negligible.
