8915-024

Woodward 8915‑024 is a high‑performance 2301A Series digital electronic speed & load controller, engineered for diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines and generator sets. It provides precise speed regulation, load sharing, grid‑parallel capability and overspeed protection, built for heavy‑duty industrial, marine and power‑generation environments.

Description

Core Functions

  1. High‑precision closed‑loop speed control to maintain stable frequency under varying loads

  2. Supports isochronous mode for standalone units and droop mode for parallel‑running gensets

  3. Grid synchronization, load distribution and remote setpoint via 4‑20 mA / 1‑5 VDC analog input

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

  5. Direct drive for Woodward fuel actuators and turbine control valves

  6. Parameter tuning and monitoring with dedicated Woodward configuration software
