  Voltage control oscillator with modulation compensation - Patent 4904964
Frequency control voltage is derived from the output of the loop filter 50 and is coupled to the oscillator through the resistor 314 and the coupling capacitor 312.
The filtered control voltage applied to the resistor 314 adaptively adjusts the varactor diode 306 as necessary to maintain constant modulation as the VCO is being tuned across the frequencies of interest.
As the filtered control voltage increases, the capacitance of the varactor diode 306 as biased by the resistor 314 will decrease, and hence decrease the total capacitance coupled into the main resonant tank of the VCO (the total capacitance is the series combination of the capacitor 312 and the varactor diode 306).

 Voltage Control
Controlling the field current permits control of the output voltage.
The major difference between the various voltage control systems is merely the method by which the field circuit resistance and the current are controlled.
Voltage control is an imposed action, usually through an external adjustment, for the purpose of increasing or decreasing terminal voltage.

 Fuzzy logic-based voltage control of a synchronous generator International Journal of Electrical Engineering Education ...
Operation of synchronous generators requires that both voltage and frequency are kept as constant as possible.' Frequency is controlled by means of the prime mover as it is proportional to the generator speed.
The transient analysis of the generator voltage requires the use of a dynamic model of the generator.2 This model is expressed in a reference frame that rotates at the rotor speed (d-q transformation).
Control of such systems can be achieved by means of adaptive controllers, but they are quite complex to implement and require a lot of computation effort and thus are expensive microcontrollers.

 Thermoelectric compensation for voltage control devices - Patent 4097829
A tuning compensation device to reduce post-tuning frequency drift in voltage controlled oscillators, comprising a thermoelectric element, such as a wafer of doped semiconductor material, in contact with the junction of a tuning element, such as a varactor diode, to produce a correction to the control voltage and thereby compensate for thermally induced frequency drift.
In the usual operation of a voltage controlled oscillator, a back-bias voltage, such as the back-bias voltage 3, is applied to the varactor diode to set the oscillator at a desired frequency F.sub.2.
This voltage is, in effect, a feedback voltage controlled by the junction temperature, which acts to oppose thermally induced changes in the varactor diode capacitance characteristic, such as occur in voltage controlled oscillators whenever the frequency is changed.

 LabSmith: High Voltage Sequencing FAQ
Controlled via the computer interface, the rate of output switches is limited by the bus speed: you can switch the function of a single channel at about 500 Hz; you can switch multiple channels simultaneously at about 100 Hz.

 Torch Height Control
The torch height control uses arc voltage (Tip Voltage) to maintain a consistent distance from the plate while the torch is cutting.
The current regulator lowers the voltage as the height moves lower and raises as it as the torch moves higher.
If the tip voltage is higher than the set voltage then THC moves the tip down, this causes the plasma current regulator to bring the voltage down.

 High-voltage direct current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Controlling power flow in a multiterminal DC system requires good communication between all the terminals; power flow must be actively regulated by the control system instead of by the inherent properties of the transmission line.
The thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device similar to the diode, but with an extra control terminal that is used to switch the device on at a particular instant during the AC cycle.
The controllability of current-flow through HVDC rectifiers and inverters, their application in connecting unsynchronized networks, and their applications in efficient submarine cables mean that HVDC cables are often used at national boundaries for the exchange of power.

 Principles of AC voltage control
The amount of voltage induced in the windings depends mainly on three things: (1) the number of conductors in series per winding, (2) the speed (alternator rpm) at which the magnetic field cuts the winding, and (3) the strength of the magnetic field.
This prevents the use of the alternator rpm as a means of controlling the voltage output.
Thus, the only practical method for obtaining voltage control is to control the strength of the rotating magnetic field.
