5484-803 WOODWARD Generator Control Unit
The Woodward 5484 - 803 Generator Control Unit is a device designed for the control and monitoring of generators, mainly used in power generation systems such as power plants and distributed power generation. Here is a detailed introduction:
- Input Voltage: Usually supports a wide range of input voltages to adapt to different power supply environments, such as 110V AC/DC or 220V AC/DC, with a certain voltage tolerance range to ensure stable operation under different power supply conditions.
- Output Signal: Provides various output signals to control the generator, including control signals for the excitation system to adjust the output voltage of the generator, and speed - regulating signals to control the rotational speed of the generator prime mover, so as to ensure the stable output of the generator voltage and frequency.
- Communication Interface: It is equipped with communication interfaces such as RS - 485, Ethernet, and Modbus to realize communication and data interaction with other devices in the power generation system, such as connecting to the power plant's distributed control system (DCS) or energy management system (EMS) to upload generator operating data and receive control instructions.
- Measurement Accuracy: It has a high - precision measurement function for generator operating parameters. For example, the measurement accuracy of voltage and current can reach within ±0.5%, and the measurement accuracy of frequency can reach ±0.1Hz, which can provide accurate data support for the control and protection of the generator.
- High Reliability: It adopts redundant design and fault - tolerant technology. For example, dual - redundant power supply modules and communication channels are configured to ensure the normal operation of the control unit in the event of a single - point failure, improving the reliability and stability of the power generation system.
- Powerful Protection Function: It has a variety of protection functions, such as over - voltage protection, under - voltage protection, over - current protection, and over - speed protection. When the generator operates abnormally, it can quickly cut off the generator or take other protection measures to protect the generator and other equipment from damage.
- Good Compatibility: It can be compatible with various types and models of generators, and can be customized and configured according to the specific parameters and characteristics of the generator to meet the control needs of different generators.
- User - Friendly Interface: It is equipped with a human - machine interface (HMI), which can display the operating parameters, status information, and fault alarms of the generator in real time. The operation is simple and convenient, and users can easily set and adjust the control parameters of the generator through the interface.
- Power Plants: It is widely used in thermal power plants, hydropower plants, and wind power plants to control and monitor the operation of generators, ensuring the stable output of electric energy and meeting the power supply needs of the power grid.
- Distributed Power Generation Systems: In distributed power generation systems such as photovoltaic power generation and small - and - medium - sized diesel generators, it is used to realize the control and management of generators, improve the utilization efficiency of energy, and ensure the reliable operation of the power generation system.
- Industrial and Commercial Power Supply Systems: In industrial and commercial enterprises, it is used for the control and monitoring of self - owned generators to ensure the normal operation of the internal power supply system of the enterprise and improve the reliability of power supply.
