The Woodward 8440-2054 is a genset controller from the easYgen-3000 series, specifically identified as the easYgen-3100-3M. This unit is designed for a wide range of generator control and protection applications, particularly those requiring parallel operation.
Key Features and Applications
The easYgen-3100-3M is a powerful and flexible control unit that manages both the engine and the generator. Unlike its counterpart, the easYgen-3200, the 3100 model is designed for cabinet back panel mounting and does not have an integrated front panel display. It’s meant to be used with a separate display or as part of a larger, integrated control system.
Core Functions:
- Automatic Mains Failure (AMF): This unit can automatically start and stop a genset in the event of a utility power failure, ensuring a seamless transfer to standby power.
- Parallel Operation: The easYgen-3100-3M is capable of operating in various parallel modes, including island parallel, mains parallel, and multiple-unit parallel, allowing for up to 32 gensets to be controlled in a single network.
- Load Management: It includes features for peak shaving, where the genset is used to reduce energy consumption during high-demand periods, and import/export control for managing power flow to and from the utility grid.
- Comprehensive Protection: The controller provides extensive protection for the generator, engine, and mains. It monitors for overspeed, overcurrent, over/under-voltage, and over/under-frequency, among other parameters, to ensure equipment safety.
