Governor models can be an important variable affecting the dynamic performance of electrical power systems. One example is the Alaskan Railbelt system whose major source of generation is from combustion turbines. Detailed dynamic simulation models have been proposed for two types of governor controllers. A field test was conducted to derive model parameters. The models derived from field test recordings and data were compared in simulation cases with typical models that were used in earlier studies. Results from the simulation cases revealed that the typical models were more optimistic.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
