“…More and more publications such as [32], mainly from universities, propagated digital control by means of microcomputers. The first step away from the analog governor toward the flexible programmable digital controller marked another short intermediate stage: Although the work of Sir George Biddell Airy and James Clerk Maxwell did not extend to the control of water turbines, they laid the foundation for those engineers who developed such methods a few decades later.…”

T o d a y 's control systems have their roots, to a great extent, in the speed control of driving engines (prime movers) and particularly in the speed control of water turbines. The first turbines with automatic speed control appeared sometime in the mid-19th century. In this column, I discuss the history of water-turbine control systems, noting the older inventions and techniques that made possible the very first attempts to control the speed of hydraulic machinery and recognizing the key engineers and scientists who contributed to the further development.

“…improve the quality of speed regulation [1][2][3][4]. Numerous new features in control are enabled in turbine governors that are realised in digital technology, due to their flexibillty and their capabillity to implement more complex algorithms [2,[5][6][7][8]. Flexibillity of digital technology, in both, hardware and software, enables at short notice development, adjustment and verification of applied control approach.…”

The paper considers a low head hydro units control problem by using the modern control theory for turbine governor design. The design of optimal and suboptimal turbine governor is performed by using the optimal control theory and projective controls method. Implementation of modern control theory in contemporary turbine governors is fairly easy to obtain due their realisation in digital technology. Comparison for the closed-loop system dynamic performances, shows that better results are obtained with optimal and suboptimal governors as compared to conventional turbine governors.
