WOODWARD 9905-068 2301 Aseries 2301A Load Sharing and Speed Control.

The Woodward 9905-068 2301A Load Sharing and Speed Control module is part of Woodward’s 2301A series, which provides precise speed control and load sharing for diesel and gas engines or turbines. These controllers are used in applications where multiple engines or turbines need to operate in parallel.

Key Features:
Load Sharing:

The module automatically adjusts the load sharing between engines or turbines operating in parallel, ensuring that no single unit is overloaded.
Speed Control:

Provides isochronous (constant speed regardless of load changes) and droop (speed varies slightly with load) speed control for engines and turbines.
Can be set to maintain speed within very tight tolerances.

Isochronous and Droop Operation:

Isochronous Mode: Keeps the engine speed constant under varying load conditions.
Droop Mode: Allows speed to decrease slightly as the load increases, improving stability in some systems.
Multi-Engine and Multi-Turbine Applications:

Ideal for use in installations where multiple engines or turbines must operate in parallel, such as power plants, marine applications, and large industrial setups.
Compatibility:

The controller is compatible with a wide variety of prime movers, including diesel engines, gas turbines, and gas engines.
Manual Adjustments:

The 9905-068 model allows for manual adjustments of the speed and load settings, which can be useful in specific operational scenarios.
Voltage and Frequency:

Supports operation at various voltage and frequency levels, depending on the connected generators or turbines.
System Flexibility:

Capable of working with most existing system configurations, providing an upgrade path for older control systems while supporting modern technologies.
