    Speed Droop Is A Governor Function Which Reduces The Governor Reference Speed As Fuel Position

    Speed droop is a governor function that lowers the reference speed as load increases to provide stable engine operation. More complex governors can implement temporary droop that returns the speed setting to its original value after load changes, while all controls have circuits that simulate droop through actuator position adjustments based on sensed off-speed. Droop is necessary for stability, as without it a load increase would cause underspeed then overspeed cycling as the governor compensates until runaway occurs. Droop allows the governor speed setting to move with off-speed during load changes, enabling stable return to steady-state control.

    Speed droop is a governor function which reduces the governor reference speed as fuel position

    (load) increases.

    All engine controls use the principle of droop to provide stable operation.

    The simpler mechanical governors have the droop function built into the control system, and it
    cannot be changed.

    More complex hydraulic governors can include temporary droop, returning the speed setting to its
    original place after the engine has recovered from a change in fuel position.

    This temporary droop is called compensation.

    The ability to return to the original speed after a change in load is called isochronous speed control.
    All electronic controls have circuits which effectively provide a form of temporary droop by adjusting
    the amount of actuator position change according to how much off speed is sensed.

    Without some form of droop, engine-speed regulation would always be unstable.

    A load increase would cause the engine to slow down.

    The governor would respond by increasing the fuel position until the reference speed was attained.
    However, the combined properties of inertia and power lag would cause the speed to recover to a
    level greater than the reference.

    The governor would reduce fuel and the off speed would then occur in the underspeed direction.

    In most instances the off-speed conditions would build until the unit went out on overspeed.

    With droop, the governor speed setting moves toward the offspeed as the fuel control moves to
    increase, allowing a stable return to steady state control.
    Droop is a straight-line function, with a certain speed reference for every fuel position.
    Normally, a droop governor lowers the speed reference from 3 to 5 percent of the
    reference speed over the full range of the governor output. Thus a 3% droop
    governor with a reference speed of 1854 rpm at no fuel would have a reference
    speed of 1800 rpm at max fuel (61.8 Hz at no fuel and 60 Hz at max fuel).
