Product Description
The Woodward 2301E-ST is a digital load sharing and speed control designed for small steam turbine applications. It is engineered to control, start, stop, and protect turbines driving generators, pumps, or compressors.
As part of the Woodward 2301E family, the 2301E-ST replaces the legacy 2301D series with improved algorithms and modern communication capabilities. Moreover, it delivers stable turbine control while maintaining straightforward field configuration.
This controller integrates generator power sensing and load sharing logic, allowing multiple turbine generator sets to operate in parallel. Therefore, it is well suited for cost-sensitive installations requiring reliable synchronization and balanced load distribution.
The 2301E-ST supports redundant speed inputs and multiple turbine starting modes, enhancing operational flexibility. In addition, Modbus communications simplify integration with plant PLC or DCS systems.
