A number of published works deal with governor tuning for speed control of hydrogenerators. This work is based on the hypothesis that some system parameters are not known at the design stage. It develops a graph which can be used to predict optimum proportional and integral gains based on four parameters: the time constants of the water column and of the rotor inertia and the self-regulation constants of the turbine and of the loading grid. The pole cancellation method of design is used and the results are posed in an easy-to-use format not requiring the solution of systems of equations. Information on stability limits and comparisons with other work are included.
