The principle and function of hydro-generator governor

1. What is the basic function of the governor?
The basic function of the governor is:
(l) It can automatically adjust the speed of the water turbine generator set to keep it running within the allowable deviation of the rated speed to meet the frequency quality requirements of the power grid.
(2) It can make the water turbine generator set start automatically or manually to meet the needs of the increase or decrease of grid load, normal shutdown or emergency shutdown.
(3) When the water turbine generator sets are operated in parallel in the power system, the governor can automatically assume the predetermined load distribution, so that each unit can realize economic operation.
(4) It can meet the needs of dual coordinated adjustment of paddle and impulse turbines.

2. What types are there in the series spectrum of my country’s counterattack turbine governor?
The series model spectrum of the counterattack turbine governor mainly includes:
(1) Mechanical hydraulic single-adjustment governor. Such as: T-100, YT-1800, YT-300, YTT-35, etc.
(2) Electric hydraulic single-regulation speed governor. Such as: DT-80, YDT-1800, etc.
(3) Mechanical hydraulic dual-adjustment governor. Such as: ST-80, ST-150, etc.
(4) Electric hydraulic dual-adjustment governor. Such as: DST-80, DST-200, etc.
In addition, imitating the medium-sized governor CT-40 of the former Soviet Union, the medium-sized governor CT-1500 produced by Chongqing Water Turbine Factory is still used in some small hydropower stations as a substitute for the series of models.

3. What are the main reasons for the common failures of the regulation system?
Caused by reasons other than the governor itself, it can be roughly summarized as:
(1) Hydraulic factors The speed pulsation of the hydraulic turbine due to the pressure pulsation or vibration of the water flow in the water diversion system.
(2) Mechanical factors The host itself swings.
(3) Electrical factorsThe gap between the generator rotor and the walker is uneven, the electromagnetic force is unbalanced, the excitation system is unstable and the voltage oscillates, and the quality of the permanent magnet machine is poorly manufactured and installed, which leads to the pulsation of the flying pendulum power signal.

Failure caused by the governor itself:
Before dealing with this type of problem, you should first determine the category of the fault, and then further narrow the scope of analysis and observation, and find the symptom of the fault as soon as possible, so that the right medicine can be prescribed and quickly eliminated.
The problems encountered in production practice are often very complicated and have many reasons. This requires that in addition to the basic principles of the governor, a comprehensive understanding of the manifestations of various faults, inspection methods and countermeasures should be fully understood. .

8. What are the main points of TT series governor maintenance?
(1) The governor oil must meet the *** quality standards. After the initial installation or overhaul, the oil should be changed once every 1 to 2 months after operation, and the oil should be changed once every other year or so or depending on the oil quality.
(2) The amount of oil in the oil tank and buffer should be within the allowable range.
(3) For moving parts that cannot be automatically lubricated, pay attention to regular lubrication and lubricate.
(4) When starting, the oil pump must be started first and then the flying pendulum must be started to ensure that there should be oil lubrication between the rotating sleeve and the outer plug and the fixed sleeve.
(5) To start the governor after a long-term shutdown, first “jog” the oil pump motor to see if there is any abnormality. At the same time, it also supplies lubricant to the pilot valve. Before starting the flight aid motor, you should turn the fly by hand. Pendulum and check if there is any jamming.
(6) The parts on the governor should not be disassembled frequently when it is not necessary. However, they should be checked frequently, and abnormal phenomena should be repaired and eliminated in time.
(7) Before starting the oil pump, the water inlet valve of the cooler water pipe should be opened to prevent the oil temperature from rising too high, affecting the regulation performance and accelerating the quality of the oil. In winter, if the room temperature is low, wait until the oil temperature rises to about 20C. Then open the water inlet valve of the cooler water pipe.
(8) The surface of the governor should always be kept clean. Tools and other items are not allowed on the governor, and other things should not be stacked nearby, so as not to hinder normal operation.
