The field of system governing lies between the problems of pulsating loads and electrical stability on the one hand and frequency or time control on the other. It is concerned with the short period swings or hunting action for which poor governors are usually responsible. With proper instruments, poor governor units may be detected readily and corrections made. Sensitive governors may be substituted for them. The paper discusses some of the elements of governing from the standpoint of the system operator and suggests certain essential requirements which new governors should meet.
