Features: This book provides a brief analysis of modern hydro-turbine regulation technology and the fundamental principles of hydro-turbine control systems. It offers detailed discussions and descriptions on the structural system, hardware configuration, software design, mechanical-hydraulic system, oil-pressure, testing, and fault countermeasures of digital (microcomputer) electro-hydraulic governors for hydro-turbines. The book also analyzes successful applications of various models of hydro-turbines and digital microcomputer electro-hydraulic governors in power stations. It examines the requirements for hydro-turbine governors in primary frequency regulation, secondary frequency regulation, and regional power exchange control in power grids, presenting experimental and simulation results for grid load frequency control. Additionally, it includes the author's research findings on dynamic analysis of hydro-turbine control systems. This book is suitable for engineering technicians working in hydro-turbine governors, hydro-turbine control technology, and power grid dispatching in design institutes, research institutions, universities, power generation companies, hydropower plants, hydro-turbine governor manufacturers, and installation companies. It can also serve as a teaching reference for undergraduate and graduate students majoring in water conservancy and hydropower engineering.
