Reciprocating Engine Electrical and Control Systems
Learning objectives
- Describe how automatic and manual control modes affect generator operations
- Explain the speed droop mode of engine control
- Explain the isochronous mode of engine control
- Explain the kW control mode of engine control

Course overview
Reciprocating engine generating sets used in power production require sophisticated control systems to support their operation. The Reciprocating Engine Electrical and Control Systems training course introduces the common electrical and control systems used.
This online training course explains the electrical control modes used to maintain engine speed. It also discusses the control system used for starting, stopping, and maintaining safe engine operation. It includes:
- Engine control modes
- Engine starting permissives
- Automatic protective functions
This course is part of the Reciprocating Engine Power Plants training series.
