Overview

The Woodward 9907-018 is part of the 2301A Electronic Load Sharing and Speed Control family, widely used in power generation systems for diesel engines, gas engines, and steam or gas turbines. This model is tailored for low-voltage applications and is CE-marked for compliance with European safety and performance standards.

It provides precise speed control and automatic load sharing among multiple generators operating in parallel. The unit is housed in a metal chassis with all potentiometers accessible from the front panel, allowing for easy configuration and tuning. Moreover, it supports both droop and isochronous load sharing modes, making it suitable for a wide range of generator control strategies.

Therefore, the 9907-018 is ideal for facilities requiring stable frequency regulation, load balancing, and reliable engine speed control in both isolated and grid-connected power systems.

Technical Data

Typical Applications

• Generator Load Sharing: Balances load across multiple generators operating in parallel.

• Speed Regulation: Maintains engine or turbine speed under varying load conditions.

• Prime Mover Control: Interfaces with diesel, gas, steam, or gasoline engines for stable operation.

• Power Plants: Used in backup and base-load generator control systems.

• Marine and Offshore: Supports propulsion and auxiliary power systems with load sharing.

For instance, in a multi-generator power station, the 9907-018 ensures that each unit shares the load proportionally, preventing overloading and improving fuel efficiency. In addition, its isochronous mode allows for tight frequency control in isolated systems.
