Governor 101What is a governor?
• A governor is a mechanism that responds to deviations from equilibrium and seeks to restore the system back to equilibrium.
Why do we need them?• The governor is used to start the turbine, control the
speed of the turbine to permit the generator to be synchronized to the grid in a stable and safe manner, and then allows the generator to produce generation and automatically share load with the other units on the grid during frequency excursions.

• Proper governor maintenance is important
• Digital conversion not required to pass NERC tests!

Mechanical GovernorsThe two enemies of “classic” governors:
• Friction• Lost Motion
How to find and eliminate them: Lubrication Monthly inspection Annual governor testing Overhaul as required

Time-Based MaintenanceWeekly
Add oil to all pivot points.Monthly
Check oil filtersCheck dashpot oil level – add dashpot oil if needed
12 MonthsAdd dashpot oil to strap suspended ballheadCheck ballhead bearings
24-36 MonthsDisassemble, clean, inspect, replace worn parts:Governor pilot valveDashpotBallheadLinkagesLubricate and check movement of governor restoring cableCheck distributing and relay plunger for freedom of movement.

Alternate Approach
TBM ignores actual governor performance:- Governor wear is not uniform- Good, useable parts may be discarded- Annual outage may be unnecessary
TBM widely replaced by Run-To-Failure due to focus on cost reduction: - Governor maintenance may be neglected
- Poor governor performance exposed only during grid disruption
Governor Health Monitoring provides:- Simple, quick governor performance verification
- Identification of poor-performing governors
- Lead time to schedule outage, purchase needed parts

Governor Health Monitoring• An annual test using simple on-line method.
• Allows comparison against past performance.
• Provides tools to tune for peak performance
• Enables scheduling of maintenance or overhaul, as needed. Avoids unnecessary outages.

• Calibration of Feedback Sensors
• Hydraulic Solenoids - Exercise to minimize silt build-up
• Control Relays - Exercise to verify contacts and wiring
• Servomotors - Check full travel for binding or abnormal operation.
• Fastener Security - Check the torque on all accessible fasteners.
• Corrosion – Inspect electrical terminations, connectors, components.
• Battery Replacement
• Auxiliary Systems: Pumps and SSGs

Oils• Contaminated Oil is the #1 Cause of Governor Problems
• Oil Should be Free of Dirt, Air & Water
• When to Change or Clean Oil• Appearance
• Smell
• Water or other contaminants
• Viscosity changes
• Excessive wear
• Kidney Loop Filtration Systems
• Incompatible Oils / Choosing the Proper Oil• Filter maintenance schedule with Inspection• Oil sample analysis

Training
Staff training is critical to reducing downtime and keep governors running at peak performance.
• On-site Training
• Factory Training
![Page 26: NHA 2010 Annual Conference Governor Maintenance 2010 Annual Conference Governor Maintenance. ... • The governor is used to start the turbine, ... • The role of hydro in supporting](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052421/5b1d3a1a7f8b9ac6348b6bf6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
On-Site Training• Comprehensive on-site training classes include governor basics,
operations, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Available for all types of governors.
• On-site classes focus on your specific governor installation. Hands-on sessions take place at an existing unit.
• Duration is typically 3 to 5 days, depending on the number of students and the amount of hands-on time desired.
• AGC staff have taught more than 200 training classes worldwide.
