The second objective of governor adjustment is twofold: to adjust the governor to optimize performance within the power system and to optimize the governor’s ability to carry an isolated load. Most governor manufacturer’s literature provides a procedure for adjusting the governor. These procedures usually require making adjustments to minimize visible “hunting” by the governor. While this may provide a governor response that is adequate for synchronizing, it will probably not provide an optimum response on line or may not allow the governor to adequately maintain frequency if disconnected from the grid. The governor should respond to frequency.
