Abstract

Prime movers in engine rooms inherently are much affected by the adjustment of their governors for the steady state and transient properties, consequently requiring that marine engineers shall be well familiar with the way to manage governor dials for normal operation. The hydro-mechanical governors basically have different control characteristics and adjustment parameters of stability from digital governors. The former include compensation mechanism using dash pot while the control algorithm of the latter is usually based on the PID action. This study is for configuring a simulation module to let trainees practice how to adjust dials for stability on hydraulic governors in the view that the practice by real governors and engines is time consuming and high cost for operation. The governor module includes the adjusting points such as speed set, speed droop, needle valve and compensation pointer with engine module of $2^{nd}$ order coupled. The results of simulation showed satisfactory responses as a training tool for the adjustment of control parameters.

거버너의 특성은 기관 운전에 큰 영향을 미치므로 이에 대한 운전자의 조정관리가 필요하나 PID 연산을 기초로 하는 디지털 거버너와 달리 유압식 거버너는 안정도의 조정 방식에서 큰 차이가 있다. 이러한 관계의 이해에는 실물장치의 유압식 거버너로 직접 실습하는 것이 효과적이나 엔진을 구동해야 하는 등 현실적인 어려움이 있으므로 본 연구에서는 시뮬레이션 모듈의 방법으로 안정도 등의 조정 실습이 가능하도록 주요 특성을 구현하였다. 거버너 모듈에는 스피드 설정, 스피드드룹 및 니들밸브와 보상포인터 등의 조정 파라미터가 포함되었으며 2차 함수의 엔진 전달함수를 결합하였다. 이로부터 안정도에 관련되는 조정 파라미터를 가변시킬 때 얻어지는 시스템에서의 속도 및 연료량의 응답 결과를 분석한 결과 제시된 모듈이 유압기계식 거버너의 제작자가 정하고 있는 니들밸브 및 보상지침의 일반적인 조정절차를 따라 조정 실습이 가능한 특성을 나타낸다는 것을 확인하였다.
