Woodward 2301A 9907-018 Low-Voltage Load Sharing and Speed Control Device

The Woodward 2301A 9907 - 018 is a positive-acting full-authority speed controller, mainly used for the speed or load control of equipment such as diesel engines, gas engines, steam turbines or gas turbines.

Functional Features Speed Setting: The full-authority speed setting is carried out through computer control signals of 4–20mA or 1–5Vdc, enabling flexible and precise adjustment of the equipment operation speed according to actual needs.

Control Modes: It has synchronous or speed reduction control modes, which are suitable for different operation scenarios and control requirements. For example, it can achieve load sharing and precise speed control when multiple units work in coordination.

Voltage Models: There are low-voltage and high-voltage models available for selection, meeting the usage requirements under different power supply conditions and enhancing the adaptability of the product.

Signal Conversion: The signal converter included in the same control package can conveniently realize the conversion between different signal types, reducing the complexity of the connection and configuration of external devices.

Speed Regulation: It supports high-speed and low-speed regulation functions, and can finely adjust the speed of the equipment within a wide speed range to meet the operation requirements under various working conditions. Starting

Fuel Limitation: It has an override starting fuel limitation function. When the engine starts, the automatically adjustable starting fuel limitation can adjust the fuel setting value, which helps to reduce pollution and engine wear and extend the engine service life.

Performance Parameters

Power Consumption: The power consumption is ≤15W, which has good energy-saving performance and reduces the operation cost.

Storage Temperature: The storage temperature range is from - 40°C to + 85°C, which can adapt to a relatively wide range of environmental conditions and is convenient for use in different climatic regions and storage environments.

Physical Characteristics: It adopts a metal chassis with dimensions of 15.25in×7.125in×2.5in (approximately 387.35mm×181mm×63.5mm) and a weight of 1.758kg. It has a sturdy structure and is easy to install and integrate into various equipment or systems.

Electrical Connection: Shielded twisted pair is used as the cable, which has good anti-interference performance to ensure the stability and reliability of signal transmission.

Application Scenarios: It is mainly applied to generator systems that require load sharing among multiple units, such as generator sets driven by diesel, gasoline or gas engines, as well as generator sets driven by steam or gas turbines, etc. In these systems, it can achieve balanced load distribution among each unit and precise speed control, ensuring the stable operation and efficient output of the entire power generation system.

Application Cases of Woodward 2301A 9907 - 018:

Industrial Power Generation Field: In the self-owned power stations of some factories, multiple diesel engine-driven generator sets are used to supply power to the factories. The Woodward 2301A 9907 - 018 controller is applied to these generator sets, which can achieve precise speed control, ensuring that each unit can operate stably under different load conditions and output a stable voltage and frequency. At the same time, through its load distribution function, multiple units can share the load reasonably, improving the overall efficiency and reliability of the power generation system and meeting the production and daily electricity consumption needs of the factory.

Marine Power System: The power system of large ships usually consists of multiple gas turbines or diesel engines. The Woodward 2301A 9907 - 018 can control the speed and load of these engines, ensuring that the engines can maintain the best operation state under different navigation conditions, such as starting, cruising, accelerating, and decelerating, achieving efficient power output, while reducing fuel consumption and emissions and extending the engine service life. In addition, in the ship's power system, this controller can also be used for the control of the generator set to ensure the stable power supply of various equipment on the ship.

Distributed Energy System: In some distributed energy projects, such as small wind farms or biomass power plants, diesel or gas engines are often equipped as backup power sources. When the wind power is insufficient or the biomass energy supply is unstable, the engines start to generate electricity. The Woodward 2301A 9907 - 018 controller can quickly adjust the speed and load of the engines according to the demand of the power grid, realizing the seamless switching and collaborative operation between the backup power source and renewable energy, improving the stability and reliability of the distributed energy system and ensuring the continuous power supply.
