the one of the difference in generator governor is having speed drop setting. this setting is used to maintain the speed when the genrator runs parralel and especially during the time of load sharing. a small fall in the rpm occurs. if this is considered the genrator will run under the motoring effect and cause black out.to avoid this we have droop speed setting in the gen governor.

What is the function of governor in a generator set?

The function of a governor in a generator set is to regulate the speed of the engine. It works by controlling the fuel flow to the engine, adjusting the throttle settings, and maintaining a constant speed regardless of the load demand. The governor ensures that the generator provides a consistent and stable output frequency and voltage.


Does heat energy make wires in a generator spin?

In a way. It is the difference between temperatures at the inlet and outlet of the steam turbine (generically, a 'heat engine') which results in the turbine spinning -this, in turn, causes the generator to spin.

Does load affects fuel consumption per hour of a diesel generator?

If the generator is to maintain the same rpm and power output, then a heavier load will increase the diesel consumption. The revolutions per minute the generator runs will increase as the load increases, thereby resulting in an increase in diesel consumption to maintain the high rpm. A Generator has a governor which attempts to maintain frequency at 60 Hz for North America. For the generator to increase the power output at the same frequency, the governor will increase the fuel and air to the engine. The fuel consumption will not be linear because of the curves associated with the particular engine. The fuel to KWH is know as the heat rate curve for the generator.

What are the differences between a car engine and a generator engine?

Technically nothing. They are both internal combustion engines. One is driving a transmission and a vehicle and the other is driving a generator. A generator is used to to produce DC current, that is driven by an electrical AC motor, Hench the term Motor-Generator applies. An engine uses it's own source of fuel, Gasoline, for it's power source. Never call a ENGINE a MOTOR..........
