Precision Turbine Control with Woodward 8200-1300 Digital Governor Module

The Woodward 8200-1300 serves as a specialized digital governor for steam turbines, offering precise regulation of single or dual actuator systems. Its low-voltage DC power compatibility (18-32 Vdc) ensures stable operation in harsh industrial conditions, making it a trusted choice for critical energy and process applications.

Industrial Applications & Related Models

Commonly deployed in power generation plants and oil & gas facilities, this module excels in environments requiring split-range actuator control. For instance, a Midwestern refinery integrated the 8200-1300 into their steam turbine system to achieve tighter speed regulation during fluctuating load conditions. Our inventory also includes complementary Woodward controllers like the 8521-0312, 9907-149, and TG-13 (8516-038), ensuring seamless system upgrades or replacements.

Technical Advantages

What sets this module apart is its adaptive control algorithms combined with rugged hardware design. The built-in diagnostics flag potential issues before failures occur – one engineer mentioned how it prevented a turbine overspeed incident through early vibration pattern detection. Its modular architecture supports hot-swapping during maintenance, minimizing downtime. Compared to older analog systems, users report 15-20% improvements in fuel efficiency thanks to real-time parameter optimization.

“Initially skeptical about digital transitions, our team found the HMI intuitive enough for operators to master within a day,” shared a plant supervisor during commissioning. “The split-range control alone reduced our valve calibration time by half.”
