The Woodward easYgen-2000 Series (2200, 2300, and 2500) is a compact, value genset control and protection package for multiple-unit operation. 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 brings gensets on and off line to match demand, even across mixed engine sizes, to hold the spinning reserve you need while optimizing fuel.
Key Features
Control & Engine
- Operation modes: Auto, Stop, Manual, and Load/No-Load test
- Start/stop logic for diesel and gas engines, with pre-glow/purge and warm-up control
- Slip-frequency and phase-match synchronization, open/close control, and breaker monitoring
- Load transfer: open and closed transition, interchange, soft load/unload, and mains parallel
- Active and reactive power load sharing across up to 16 units with load-dependent start/stop
- Broad ECU support over J1939/CAN (Scania, Deutz, Volvo, MTU ADEC, MAN, Cummins, Perkins, Woodward EGS, and J1939 standard)
Operation & Interface
- 128 x 64 graphical LC display with soft keys; 11-language multilingual capability
- Event recorder (300 events, FIFO) with battery-backed real-time clock
- Operating-hours, start, and maintenance counters
- Remote control via interface and discrete/analog inputs for speed, frequency, voltage, power, reactive power, and power factor
- PC and front-panel configurable with Woodward ToolKit
- Multi-level password protection and IKD 1 / Phoenix Contact IL I/O expansion
Upgrade Path
The easYgen-2000 economy line cannot serve both a generator breaker (GCB) and a mains breaker (MCB) in the same multi-genset system, because it lacks busbar voltage measurement between the GCB and MCB. Where that topology is required, step up to the easYgen-3000XT line. For single-backup-genset applications, the easYgen-2500 upgrades directly to the easYgen-3200XT-LITE (P/N 8440-2281). Drake handles the migration and settings conversion.
Applications
- Multiple-genset standby and prime power
- Island load sharing and single-unit utility paralleling
- Fuel-optimized dispatch across mixed engine fleets
- Diesel and gas genset packages
