The turbine is coupled to the shaft of the generator, which is generating power/electricity. The power generated should have uniform rating of current and frequency which in turn depends on the speed of the shaft of the turbine. Fig shows the oil pressure governor for a turbine. The main component parts of the governor are: 1. The servomotor or Relay cylinder 2. The distribution valve or control valve 3. Actuator or Pendulum 4. Oil Sump 5. Gear pump which runs by tapping power from the power shaft by belt drive 6. A pipe system communicating with the control valve, servomotor and the sump When the turbine is subjected to its normal load, it runs at the normal speed N. When the load on the turbine increases or decreases the speed of the turbine also will accordingly decrease ot increase. The oil pressure governor will restore the speed to the normal value. The normal position of the governor at the normal speed is shown in fig. 2

As the load on the turbine increases, the speed decreases in turn reducing the speed of the vertical bar of the governor. The fly balls of the centrifugal governor are brought to a lower level, thereby bringing the displacement lever downward. This through the fulcrum lifts the piston of the control valve and thereby opens the valve A and closes the valve B. Oil is pumped through valve A and into the servomotor, thereby pushing the piston of the servomotor backwards. This in turn increases the inlet area of the discharge into the turbine, thereby increasing the speed. Similarly, with decrease in load on the turbine, the fly balls move farther away from the vertical shaft of the governor, thereby lifting the displacement lever upwards. This through the fulcrum lowers the piston of the control valve and thereby opens the valve B and closes the valve A. Oil is pumped through valve B and into the servomotor, thereby pushing the piston of the servomotor forwards. This in turn decreases the inlet area of the discharge into the turbine, thereby decreasing the speed. In both the cases mentioned above, the process continues until the normal position is reached. smartworlD.asia 3
