Woodward 8270-1021 Gas Turbine Control

Product Dimensions：

Woodward is a global leader in the design and manufacture of control solutions for the energy and aerospace markets. Their gas turbine control systems are renowned for their reliability, modularity, and high-performance capabilities.

Here is a detailed breakdown of Woodward Gas Turbine Control systems (focusing on the flagship MicroNet™ and AtlasSC™ platforms).

1. Product Description

Woodward gas turbine controllers are high-speed, digital control systems designed to manage every aspect of turbine operation. This includes start-up sequencing, speed and load control, temperature monitoring (EGT/TIT), and protection against overspeed or surge conditions.

The systems often utilize a modular architecture, allowing for:

• Simplex or Redundant Configurations: Ranging from single CPUs to Triple Modular Redundant (TMR) systems for mission-critical applications.

• Integrated Solutions: Seamlessly managing fuel valves, actuators, and auxiliary equipment.

2. Key Product Parameters

While specific parameters vary by model (e.g., MicroNet Plus vs. Peak 200), typical technical specifications include:

3. Product Advantages

• Precision Fuel Control: Woodward’s algorithms provide exceptionally tight control over fuel delivery, improving efficiency and reducing emissions.

• High Availability: With TMR (Triple Modular Redundant) options, the system can withstand a single-point failure without tripping the turbine.

• Cybersecurity: Modern Woodward controls are designed with “Security by Design,” meeting IEC 62443 standards to protect against cyber threats.

• Long Lifecycle: Woodward is known for supporting its hardware for decades, providing a clear migration path for legacy systems (e.g., NetCon to MicroNet).

• Universal Platform: Capable of controlling turbines from major OEMs like GE, Siemens, Solar, and Rolls-Royce.

4. Product Applications

Woodward controls are used across various sectors involving gas turbines:

• Power Generation: Base load, peaking, and emergency backup power plants.

• Oil & Gas: Mechanical drive applications for compressors and pumps in pipelines or LNG plants.

• Marine Propulsion: Controlling turbines used in high-speed ferries and naval vessels.

• Combined Cycle Plants: Integrated control for both gas and steam turbines (CCGT).

5. Important Considerations & Precautions (Notes)

• Environmental Protection: Ensure the control cabinet is properly ventilated and meets the required NEMA or IP rating to prevent dust and moisture ingress.

• Grounding: Proper electrical grounding is critical. Improper grounding can lead to signal noise, which may cause “phantom” trips or erratic valve behavior.

• Firmware Compatibility: When replacing modules (like I/O cards), ensure the firmware version is compatible with the main CPU software (GAP™ or SOS).

• Safety Interlocks: Never bypass hardware safety interlocks (like independent overspeed protection) during software testing while the turbine is online.

• ESD Sensitivity: Always use Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection when handling internal circuit boards or CPUs.
