TEHRAN (ISNA)- Iranian researchers at Sharif Poly Technique University have managed to design and build governor to control hydropower plants, obtaining self-sufficiency in manufacturing the system.
Three units of governors built by the university experts have successfully passed all standard tests and will be installed in a 10-MW power plant in Kurdistan province, western Iran, to control the dam's performance.

It took three years to conduct the basic research process of the the 3.3 MW units of governors. The design process also lasted for 2 years. 300 input and output data working with different sectors of the plant and its ancillary parts send the orders to turbine water control performers and check them.

"The electromechanical part of a hydropower plant is made of three parts of turbine, generator and governor. Governor is the brain of the power plant," said Mohammad Dourali, the project director.

He also said that governors are playing a key role in protecting performance of the power plant in different situations.

The performance tolerance of the governors meets the highest standards of the world. Its performance has been approved by Iranian power plant experts.
