Governing Of Steam Turbine. Advantages of steam turbine over the steam engines • thermal efficiency higher for steam turbine • power generation at uniform rate • higher speeds and higher outputs • no internal lubrication and minimised balancing problem • no loss due to initial condensation of steam • utilise high vaccum very advantageously. The governing system has got following advantages:

Steam turbine govering system 1. The main function of governor is to maintain constant speed of turbine during fluctuations of load by varying steam input to the turbine. Steam turbine governing is the procedure of controlling the flow rate of steam to a steam turbine so as to maintain its speed of rotation as constant.
