8915-011

Woodward 8915‑011 is a high‑performance digital electronic governor of the 2301A Series. It is an industrial‑grade speed and load controller designed for diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines and generator sets. Featuring isochronous/droop control, grid synchronization, load sharing and overspeed protection, it is widely applied in power stations, oil & gas industries, marine vessels, mining and other heavy‑duty industrial environments.

Description

Core Functions

  1. High‑precision closed‑loop speed control to stabilize frequency under variable load conditions

  2. Supports isochronous mode for single‑unit constant speed, droop mode for multi‑unit parallel operation, grid synchronization and load sharing

  3. Remote speed/load setpoint via 4‑20 mA and 1‑5 VDC analog inputs

  4. Integrated overspeed protection, self‑diagnosis and fault alarm outputs

  5. Directly drives standard Woodward fuel actuators and turbine control valves

  6. Parameter configuration, commissioning and monitoring via dedicated PC software
