Woodward 8273-1011 2301D Digital Load Sharing and Speed Control
The Woodward 8273-1011 represents advanced digital control technology for parallel generator operations. This 2301D controller delivers precision load distribution and speed regulation across multiple engine-driven generators in mission-critical power systems.
Technical Specifications
- Model: 8273-1011 (2301D Series)
- Control Type: Digital load sharing and speed governor
- Input Voltage: 18-32 VDC nominal (24 VDC standard)
- Load Sharing Accuracy: ±1% of rated load
- Speed Regulation: ±0.25% isochronous mode
- Communication: RS-485 Modbus RTU protocol
- Operating Temperature: -40°C to +70°C
- Protection Rating: IP20 (panel mount)
Key Applications
Engineered for demanding parallel generation environments including data centers requiring uninterrupted power, marine propulsion systems with multiple diesel generators, industrial cogeneration plants balancing thermal and electrical loads, and offshore drilling platforms operating in harsh conditions.
Advanced Control Features
The 2301D architecture enables seamless load transfer between generators without frequency deviation. Integrated droop compensation ensures proportional load distribution even under transient conditions. Real-time monitoring tracks voltage, frequency, and kW output with millisecond response to grid disturbances.
System Integration Solutions
Compatible with Woodward actuators, sensors, and DSLC modules for complete genset automation. Supports both isochronous and droop control modes with automatic synchronization logic. Field-configurable parameters allow customization for diesel, gas, or dual-fuel engines ranging from 50 kW to 3 MW per unit.
Common Questions
Q: Can this controller manage more than two generators?
A: Yes, the 2301D supports up to 32 generators on a single load-sharing bus through RS-485 networking.
Q: Is this compatible with electronic governors?
A: Absolutely. The unit interfaces with Woodward electronic actuators and third-party ESD systems via 4-20mA or PWM signals.
Q: What's included for commissioning?
A: The controller ships with configuration software, wiring diagrams, and calibration procedures. On-site startup support is available separately.
