The Woodward EGCP-2 is a complete microprocessor-based engine-generator control and management package for diesel and gas engine generator sets up to 30,000 kW. It integrates synchronizing, load sharing, engine protection, and generator protection into a single control, with networking capability for up to eight unmanned generator sets in base-load, peak shaving, or backup power configurations.
Key Features
Control & Synchronizing
- Automatic synchronizing with digital signal processing to eliminate harmonic issues
- Dead bus closing logic with multiple shot re-closing
- Isochronous load sharing of up to 8 units (percentage-based)
- True RMS kW load control with soft load/unload ramp rates
- Base load, import/export, and process control modes
- kVAR and power factor control with voltage trim
- Automatic generator sequencing based on system load demand
- Online engine priority sequencing to equalize run-time
Engine Protection
- High/low coolant temperature
- High/low oil pressure
- Overspeed and battery voltage monitoring
- Start failure detection
Generator Protection
- Over/under voltage and frequency
- Reverse power and reverse VARs (inverse time delay)
- Overcurrent (inverse time delay)
- Loss of utility power detection
- Speed/frequency mismatch and load surge
Communications
- Modbus via RS-422 serial port
- RS-485 EGCP-to-EGCP load sharing network
- EGCP-2 Control View HMI for PC
- Configuration upload/download via PC
Applications
- Diesel and gas engine generator sets up to 30,000 kW
