Woodward, Inc. was founded in 1870 in Loves Park, IL as the Woodward Governor Company after Amos Woodward invented and patented a better, faster, more efficient water wheel governor. Thirty years later, the company expanded when his son, Elmer, patented the first successful mechanical compensating governor for hydraulic turbines. In 1933, Woodward became more diversified by expanding its product line to include diesel engine controls. The company entered the Aerospace market in 1933 when Elmer Woodward invented the first successful variable-pitch aircraft propeller.

Woodward governors followed the rapid advancement of diesel engine applications for railroads, maritime and electrical generation in many fields. The advent of gas turbine engines for aircraft and industrial uses offered more opportunities for Woodward's fuel control systems. Today, almost all aircraft use Woodward products.

DSLC-2XT

Woodward's DSLC-2XT synchronizes and controls the generator loading for up to 32 three phase AC generators using the integrated (DSLC-2XT/MSLC-2XT) Ethernet communication network. The DSLC-2XT excels in either simple generator or complex generator system applications. The DSLC-2XT/MSLC-2XT combination provides multiple units, segment, utility, and intertie power management for complex power systems.

The DSLC-2XT control combines synchronizer, load sensor, load control, dead bus closing system, VAR, power factor and process control, all integrated into one powerful package. Applications allow up to 32 generators to be precisely paralleled and controlled. Ethernet network A provides dead bus closing, load sharing, and VAR sharing information between DSLC-2XT and MSLC-2XT units. Ethernet ports B/C provides customer remote control and monitoring capability using Modbus TCP allowing easy DCS and PLC interfacing. The Ethernet network provides each device the capability to monitor all other devices on the network. If the Ethernet network is compromised, an alarm is provided and the system can be transferred to a droop control mode.

Redundant load sharing is selectable using both Ethernet A and B networks for enhanced reliability. If one network is compromised, the system automatically switches to the second network. Slip frequency or phase matching automatic synchronizing with or without dead bus closing is selectable. Permissive mode provides synch check relay functionality.

The DSLC-2XT control senses true RMS power and provides soft bump-less loading and unloading functions. It can either base load or set import/export/process power levels against the utility, or accurately share loads on isolated, multiple generator systems.

VAR and power factor control flexibility allows you to either provide a set level of VARs to the utility or to maintain a constant power factor for reliable operation. The VAR/PF control also shares kVARs in an isolated system, maintaining proportional reactive loads (kVARs) on all machines more accurately than droop or cross-current voltage systems.

Features

  • Dedicated Ethernet network for precise system communications between all DSLC-2XT's and MSLC-2XT's reduces system wiring.
  • Ethernet Modbus TCP, and Modbus RTU, for remote control and monitoring.
  • Redundant Ethernet communication for enhanced reliability.
  • The "system update" feature allows for removing or adding generator sets.
  • Integrated DSLC-2XT and MSLC-2XT system functionality eliminates the need for redundant sensors (like PTs, CTs, and MOPs) that connect to individual modules such as the load sensors and synchronizers.
  • Back panel mounting and a reduced size frees up door space and provides easy wiring.
  • Eliminates the need for additional relay logic to control dead bus closing.
  • Slip frequency paralleling, voltage matching, and speed bias transfer between the synchronizer and load control result in smooth paralleling without the risk of reverse power trips.
  • Three-phase true RMS power sensing makes the DSLC-2XT control accurate even with unbalanced phase loading and voltage fluctuations.
  • Phase angle correction for GCB when a transformer is included in the system.
  • The Woodward ToolKit™ software allows flexible setup using the same basic menu tree as the original DSLC-2 plus an overview screen.
  • Graphical overview of generator and bus bar parameters with trending makes the DSLC-2XT commissioning friendly.
  • All the Woodward devices can be programmed from a single connection to the network.
  • The ToolKit can be accessed either via one of the Ethernet ports or via USB port.

MSLC-2XT

Woodward's MSLC-2XT™ functions with the DSLC-2XT™ control to provide synchronization and load control across Utility and Intertie breakers. The MSLC-2XT/DSLC-2XT combination operates over an Ethernet communication network to control simple or complex generator system applications. This combination, 32 DSLC-2XT's and 16 MSLC-2XT's, provide multiple units, multiple segments, utility, and intertie power management for complex power systems. Controls plant wide Import / Export levels while always providing bump-less load transfers with utility.

The MSLC-2XT control combines synchronization, dead bus closing, utility/intertie load sensor, baseload control, import/export control, VAR, power factor, and a master process control in one powerful package.

The MSLC-2XT provides phase matching or slip frequency synchronization, with voltage matching, across a utility or intertie breaker. The MSLC-2XT/DSLC-2XT combination can handle multiple utility connections with a maximum of 8 bus segments in one application.

The MSLC-2XT's load sensor and load control sense true RMS power and provide a bump-less loading and unloading against a utility grid. Baseload, import/export, process, and utility unload modes control the KW power between different power sources at the same time controlling the reactive power, VAR and power factor. Reactive power is also ramped on and off for the smoothest load transactions between power grids.

The MSLC-2XT communicates via Ethernet, with or without hot swap redundant communication, to control real and reactive loading against the utility by DSLC-2XT equipped generators. The tie breaker mode allows synchronization between multiple generator systems. Segments are connected and power can be measured across an intertie, but no load control is functional when in Tie breaker operation.

Features

One MSLC-2XT can provide master control for up to 32 DSLC-2XT and an additional 15 MSLC-2XT

  • Two dedicated Ethernet lines for precise system communications between all DSLC-2XT's and MSLC-2XT's on the system.
  • One dedicated Ethernet Modbus TCP for remote control and monitoring by PLC or DCS system.
  • Redundant Ethernet communications for enhanced reliability.
  • Master MSLC-2XT redundancy: loss of communications with the designated MSLC-2XT master initiates control hand-off to the next designated MSLC-2XT master.
  • The MSLC-2XT hardware is adjustable for multiple applications.
  • Slip frequency or voltage phase matching synchronizing, fully selectable with dead bus option in both directions, provides full flexibility for intertie and main-tie-main applications.
  • Having functions integrated into one box eliminates the need for redundant sensors (like PTs, CTs, and MOPs) that connect to individual modules such as the load sensor and synchronizer.
  • Digital signal processing makes the MSLC-2XT resistant to power line distortions and harmonics.
  • Three-phase true RMS power sensing provides accurate readings even with unbalanced phase loading and voltage fluctuations.

Exciter-10

Woodward's easYgen | exciter-10 (EX-10) module is a power electronics component designed to provide excitation current to the generator that is controlled by the Active Voltage Regulator (AVR) feature in the easYgen3400/3500XT genset controls.

The active voltage regulation concept intends to substitute a traditional voltage regulation configuration by simplifying the overall topology. The easYgen internal controller regulates generator output voltage by sending a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to the excitation module. The excitation module controls generator excitation and therefore generator output voltage. This topology eliminates the redundant voltage and current sensing from a traditional voltage regulator and also makes a feedforward control architecture at AVR level simplifying the cascaded PID control topology. For power input, EX-10 interfaces with any of the following excitation systems: Self/Shunt Excitation, Auxiliary winding/AREP Excitation and Permanent Magnet (PMG) Excitation systems to make it a standard yet versatile solution.
