The Woodward 8440-2078 is a powerful and flexible genset controller, part of the easYgen-3000 series, specifically identified as the easYgen-3400-5/P2. This unit is designed for advanced power generation applications, providing comprehensive control and protection for both isolated and parallel operations.
Key Features and Applications
The easYgen-3400-5/P2 acts as the central command center for a generator system. This particular model, part of the P2 series, is designed for back panel mounting and is typically used with a separate remote panel (like the Woodward RP-3000) or integrated into a larger, more complex control system.
- Automatic Mains Failure (AMF): The unit can automatically start and stop a genset in the event of a utility power failure, ensuring a seamless transfer to standby power.
- Flexible Parallel Operation: The easYgen-3400-5/P2 is capable of operating in various parallel modes, including island parallel, mains parallel, and multi-unit parallel. It can control a system with up to 32 gensets in a single network, with advanced load-sharing and sequencing features.
- 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 (5A CT inputs), over/under-voltage, and over/under-frequency, among other parameters, to ensure equipment safety.
- Package 2 (P2) Features: This specific package includes three freely configurable PID controllers, external analog inputs/outputs via CANopen, and engine cylinder temperature protection, making it ideal for complex applications like cogeneration (CHP).
