9. Droop speed control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droop_speed_control

   Droop speed control is a control mode used for AC electrical power generators, whereby the power output of a generator reduces as the line frequency increases. It is commonly used as the speed control mode of the governor of a prime mover driving a synchronous generator connected to an electrical grid. It works by controlling the rate of power ...
