2. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

   Two types are found: The pressure reduction regulator and the back-pressure regulator. A pressure reducing regulator is a control valve that reduces the input pressure of a fluid to a desired value at its output. It is a normally-open valve and is installed upstream of pressure sensitive equipment.

3. List of valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_valves

   Pressure regulator or pressure reducing valve (PRV): reduces pressure to a preset level downstream of the valve; Pressure sustaining valve, or back-pressure regulator: maintains pressure at a preset level upstream of the valve; Presta valve, Schrader valve, or Dunlop valve, holds the air inside bicycle tires; Pulse valve, extremely fast pulsing ...

4. Regulator (automatic control) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulator_(automatic_control)

   Examples are a voltage regulator (which can be a transformer whose voltage ratio of transformation can be adjusted, or an electronic circuit that produces a defined voltage), a pressure regulator, such as a diving regulator, which maintains its output at a fixed pressure lower than its input, and a fuel regulator (which controls the supply of ...

5. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

   These types of valves are also known as automatic control valves. The hydraulic actuators respond to changes of pressure or flow and will open/close the valve. Automatic control valves do not require an external power source, meaning that the fluid pressure is enough to open and close them.

6. Automatic generation control - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_generation_control

   An electrical grid may have many types of generators and loads; generators must be controlled to maintain stable operation of the system. In an electric power system, automatic generation control (AGC) is a system for adjusting the power output of multiple generators at different power plants, in response to changes in the load. Since a power ...
