8923-811

Woodward 8923‑811 is a high‑performance 2301A Series digital speed‑load controller, designed for speed regulation and load management of diesel/gas engines, steam/gas turbines and generator sets. With stable governing performance, multi‑unit parallel operation, load sharing and overspeed protection functions, it is widely used in power generation, marine, oil & gas, chemical and mining heavy‑duty industrial scenarios.

Description

Core Functions

  1. High‑precision closed‑loop speed control to keep frequency stable under load fluctuations

  2. Isochronous control for single‑unit gensets; droop control for multi‑unit parallel operation

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

  4. Overspeed protection, self‑diagnosis and fault alarm output

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

  6. Parameter configuration, tuning and monitoring via dedicated Woodward software
