8915-005

Woodward 8915‑005 is a high‑end MicroNet Plus series digital turbine/engine controller, a heavy‑duty microprocessor‑based control module, specially designed for gas turbines, steam turbines, turbo‑generators and expanders in power plants and heavy‑industry fields. Compared with conventional engine governors, it supports complex multi‑variable control, critical speed avoidance and valve sequence control, widely used in large‑scale power generation and industrial energy systems.

Description

Core Functions

  1. Precision speed & load control, supporting isochronous control, droop control, synchronization and grid‑parallel operation

  2. Multi‑stage actuator/valve control for steam/gas inlet regulation, single‑extraction and admission control for turbines

  3. Critical speed avoidance, valve position limit, startup/shutdown sequence control

  4. Real‑time monitoring, self‑diagnosis, fault alarm and protection functions

  5. Remote speed/load setting via 4‑20 mA analog signal

  6. Parameter configuration & monitoring via Woodward dedicated software and Ethernet/serial communication
