ABSTRACT
Efficient speed regulation in mechanical systems under varying load conditions remains critical to achieving stability, efficiency, and operational safety. This research focuses on the design, development, and performance evaluation of an advanced governor control apparatus aimed at overcoming limitations inherent in conventional systems, including poor transient response, high steady-state error, and limited adaptability. The proposed system incorporates a proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control strategy, tuned to optimize dynamic performance and improve stability.
The methodology involved modeling the control system, implementing PID control tuning, and conducting experimental evaluations under varying load conditions. The apparatus was tested for performance metrics including speed regulation, transient response, and steady-state error. Simulations and real-world testing revealed significant improvements: the system demonstrated a rapid response time with minimal overshoot and steady-state error below 2% across all tested load conditions. The results were compared with existing governor systems, highlighting superior dynamic response and adaptability.
This study contributes to the advancement of governor control systems by providing a scalable, efficient solution for dynamic load conditions. Future research may explore the integration of adaptive control algorithms and artificial intelligence to further enhance predictive capabilities and fault detection.
