About this document

Electrohydraulic Governors in Hydropower by Tanuj Sharma is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document discusses the purpose and components of a hydroelectric turbine governor. The governor is used to maintain a constant turbine speed regardless of changes in load, which ensures a stable electric frequency from the generator. It works by sensing speed changes and controlling the wicket gates to adjust water flow. There are two main types - mechanical governors which use flyballs and springs, and electro-hydraulic governors which use electronic sensors and hydraulic actuators. An electro-hydraul
