The governor of the synchronous generator is the device that controls the torque of the rotor, and thus the frequency of the generated alternating current. This is important if the power plant is directly coupled to a transmission system.
By definition a synchronous generator must be synchronous. If it is not "locked in" it is not a synchronous generator, but an induction machine.
synchronous generator
mainly alternator,synchronous motor comes under the synchronous machine.a synchronous motor is not a self starting motor.if a synchronous motor moves with more than synchronous speed then it acts as a synchronous generator.
synchronous generator is similar to the principle of laws of electro magnetic induction that is "whenever the magnetic flux linking in a conductor that time emf is induced at the ends of the conductor "
If load on a generator is greater than the generator can provide, the generator will begin to slow down. If it slows down too much, it will lose synchronism.

ASYNCHRONOUS is a mode whereby events happens irregardless of control. SYNCHRONOUS are this same events but controlled by a timing and/or control
Starting of the synchronous motor using the DC generator creates a magnetic field.
Induction type alternator and synchronous generator.

we do not use induction generator because it require an external source (synchronous generator) that provide reactive power to it.
it is used to calculate the voltage regulation of synchronous generator
when generator works as a motor then the cuurrent path is reversd.
The short circuit ratio (SCR) of a synchronous generator is calculated by dividing the generator's rated field current (If) by the short circuit current (Isc) at the generator's terminals. Mathematically, it is expressed as SCR = If / Isc. This ratio indicates the generator's ability to maintain voltage under short-circuit conditions, with a higher SCR signifying better voltage stability and performance during faults. Typically, SCR values range from 2 to 6 for synchronous generators, depending on their design and application.
