The governor controls the speed of the engine and frequency of the generator. If the generator is used alone, you want the control of frequency to be very tight, sometimes called isochronous. If you parallel the generator with an existing generator or utility supply, you want a looser control, or droop so that the throttle can be set to share the load.

To properly understand droop with regard to AC Power generators, you need a good instructor and a class room, not here on CR4......

You might not fully understand it here and make some serious and very costly mistakes....and it will be your fault, not ours.....
