The Woodward easYgen-2000 is a compact, affordable genset control and protection package built for optimum fuel economy. It load-shares up to 16 gensets in island mode or parallels a single unit with the utility, and its integrated load-dependent start/stop logic brings gensets on and off line to match demand, even across mixed engine sizes.
Key Features
Control & Protection
- Load sharing of up to 16 gensets in island mode or single-unit utility parallel
- Control of 0, 1, or 2 breakers; open or closed transition; synchronization and soft load/unload
- LogicsManager Boolean programmability for complex system control
- Process-dependent start/stop logic
- Complete engine, generator, and mains protection
Generators & Communication
- Asynchronous (induction) and synchronous generator support
- CANopen for peer-to-peer load sharing
- J1939 for engine ECUs
- Modbus RTU for PLC, HMI, and SCADA
- Modem and Woodward ToolKit for remote control and programming; multilingual display
Upgrade Path
In multi-genset systems that require both a generator breaker (GCB) and a mains breaker (MCB), step up to the easYgen-3000XT line, which adds the busbar voltage measurement the easYgen-2000 lacks. For single-backup-genset duty, the easYgen-2500 upgrades to the easYgen-3200XT-LITE. Drake handles the migration.
Applications
- Island load sharing across multiple gensets
- Single-unit utility paralleling
- Fuel-optimized dispatch with mixed engine fleets
- Standby and prime power
