wi l l
now
turn our
a t ten t ion
to
how
the governor var-
ie s p i lo t o i l pressure . The method
by
which the mechanical
governor senses turbine speed is by
the
pos i t ion
of
the Fly-
ba l l s . The f lyba l l s
are
connected to th e
Governor
Pis ton.
As
the
governor pis ton moves, var ies
the
s ize of the open
ing from the p i l o t o i l system to the governor o i l cyl inder
Figure 5 .3 .
I f the
f lyba l l s move
out
speed increas ing ,
the
pis ton
i s withdrawn,
more
o i l
dra ins
out ,
the
p i lo t o i l
pressure decreases , and
the
governor s te am valve moves in the
shut
di rec t ion . I f the f lyba l l s move
in
speed decreas ing ,
the pis ton
i s inse r ted
fu r ther in to th e cy lin de r, less
o i l
dra ins out, the
p i l o t
o i l pressure
increases , and
the gover
nor steam
valve moves in the
open
di rec t ion .
In addi t ion
to
the ef fec t of speed
on
p i l o t
o i l
pressure
v ia the f lyba l l s
and
governor
p i s ton ,
the operator
can vary
p i l o t o i l pressure through the
pos i t ion
of
the
governor
s leeve . The governor
s leeve i s moved by the Speeder Gear
which i s
powered by an
e lec t r i c
motor.
A cont ro l s ignal
in i t i a t ed
by
the
opera to r or the
computer
dr ives
the
motor
to
move
the
governor s leeve . This increases
or
decreases the
s ize of the d ra in por t , thereby varying p i lo t o il pressure .
I t i s
impor tant
to keep
in
mind t ha t a l l the governor
can do
i s
vary p i l o t
o i l
pressure ,
and
t ha t a l l
varying
p i l o t
o i l pressure can do i s open or
shut
the governor
steam
va lve. The ef fec t produced by varying governor
steam
valve
pos i t ion varying steam
flow
is
dependent on whether the
generator
i s synchronized or n ot syn chron ize d
to
the
gr id ,
and has nothing to do with
the
design of
the
governor. For
example,
ra i s ing
p i lo t o i l pressure wil l open up on the gov
ernor steam
valves and
admit more
steam
to the
turbine.
Whether
th i s
increases
speed
or
increases
load has nothing
to
do
with the governor but i s
a
funct ion
of
the
external
oper
a t ing
condi t ions .
You w ill re ca l l from our
discuss ion
of governor opera
t ion
in
the l a s t lesson t ha t speed droop i s
a
funct ion of the
design of
the governor . Figure
5.4

be
thrown
outward , w i thdrawing the

pis ton
from

This
dumps
p i lo t o i l to

reduced, the
cont ro l pis ton i s
pushed down under spr ing
t ens ion .
This
lowers
the
spool
of the
con t ro l
re lay and dumps power o i l to
dra in . This shu ts the governor steam valve .
The mechanical
hydraul ic
governor
has
two
inherent
weak
nesses which decreases i t s ab i l i ty to handle an overspeed
fo llowin g loa d re jec t ion:
1.
The dead
t ime
associa ted
with the
re se rvoi r e f fec t of
low pressure lUbr icat ing o i l . The
t ime necessary
to
move the
l a rge volume
of p i lo t o i l
and
power
o i l to shut
th e
governor
steam
valves ,
r e su l t s
in excessive
over
speeds .
2. When the governor f ina l ly gets cont ro l
of
tu rb ine speed,
wi l l
at tempt to
con t ro l speed
a t the no load speed
determined by the
speed
droop curve.
This no
load
speed
may
be
as much as 5
above
the normal operat ing speed.
This means the governor has a bu i l t - i n bias which works
aga ins t
holding
speed down
on
a
load
re
j ec t ion .
Even
though the speeder
gear
i s driven back to the
pos i t ion
corresponding
to
a
no-load
speed
of
1800 rpm, cannot
move f a s t enough to
el iminate
the e f fec t
of
speed
droop.
One method
of
at tempting to
el iminate
both of these pro
blems i s the use
of
an auxi l i a ry governor which operates in
pa ra l l e l
with the main
governor . This
auxi l i a ry governor has
no speed
droop and
i s
se t to sp i l l
o i l
a t
a constant
above
normal
operat ing speed.
On an
overspeed
following
a load
re
j ec t ion
the auxi l i a ry governor begins to sp i l l o i l
a t
above operat ing
speed
1818
rpm
fo r an 1800 rpm tu rb ine .
The auxi l i a ry governor not only aids the
main
governor

of
Figure 5 .6 you can

a lso trace
th e
p i lo t

the
con tro l re la ys of each of the
four gov ern or ste am valves .

the

long. The
main and auxi l i a ry
governors
together
are not cap
able of
l imi t ing
the overspeed
following
a load re jec t ion
to
acceptable l eve l s .
To
l im i t
the amount
of
overspeed the
governing system
must
be aided by an e lec t r i c
ant i c ipa tor .
The governor
system shown
in
Figure 5 .6
conta ins
two e l-
ec t r i c an t i c ipa to r s which
operate in
pa r a l l e l . I f th e

auxi l i a ry
contacts on the b reaker. The
e lec t r i c an t i c ipa to r dumps
power

emergency

At th e
same
t ime th e low power
o i l
pressure , t r i p s pressure switches which shut th e i n t e r c ep t
valves
and
open the re l ease valves.
Afte r f ive seconds th e main and auxi l i a ry governors have
regained cont ro l of tu rb ine speed. At th i s

the
e lec -
t r i c ant ic ipators

and
the
emergency s top valves
and
in te rcept

reopen
and
the

The
