Abstract :
The details are given of the hardware and software and the field test results for a duplicate microprocessor-based governor (DμPG). An evaluation of the financial benefits with examples from the 11 DμPGs operating at seven different hydro-power plants in China is given. A proposal is presented for a new DμPG with a control strategy based on intelligent self-improvement
