Claim 8:
9. A generator control method for use in a channel control system including a command section configured to output a command value of a flow rate or pressure of a fluid, an opening degree control unit configured to calculate a target opening degree based on the command value output by the command section, a motor-operated valve installed in a channel through which the fluid flows, the motor-operated valve being configured to open and close in accordance with the target opening degree, a water turbine disposed in the channel in series or parallel with the motor-operated valve, and a generator configured to be driven by the water turbine, the generator control method comprising:
using a generator control unit to control at least one of a torque and a rotational speed of the generator with reference to opening degree information indicating a measured value of an opening degree of the motor-operated valve,
a signal obtained by an opening degree sensor configured to measure the opening degree of the motor-operated valve being transmitted to the generator control unit as the opening degree information.
