2301D-ST
Digital Load Sharing and Speed Control
DESCRIPTION
The Woodward 2301D-ST is a microprocessor
based control with integral application software
designed for single-valve steam turbine
applications. Like Woodwards 2301A line of
controls, this control is housed in a sheet-metal
chassis and consists of a single printed circuit
board. To facilitate unit retrofits, the
2301D-STs I/O terminals are located in the
same general location as Woodwards 2301A
line of controls.
This control is designed to perform the core
control functions of a small steam turbine
package. The application software is field
configurable, allowing it to be configured and
modified to meet site-specific requirements.
With more I/O than its predecessor (the 2301A
LSSC), the 2301D-ST control also has serial
communications, allowing it to easily interface
with the package PLC or plant DCS.
The 2301D-ST is configured and serviced
(dynamic adjustments made) via a laptop
computer connected to the controls
RS-232 communications port. These
configuration and dynamic settings are set,
changed, tuned, and saved via a laptop
computer and Woodwards user-friendly Watch
Window software program. This Windows
based PC program allows users to set and
adjust all application-based parameters, plus
upload and download configurations to and
from the control.
APPLICATIONS
The 2301D-ST is a field-configurable control
designed for single-valve steam turbine
applications. This control is configurable to
allow it to be easily applied in a diverse range
of turbine applications.

CONTROL FUNCTIONS
The Woodward 2301D-ST controls a wide variety of single-valve steam turbines used in electrical generator, compressor drive, or
pump applications.
Turbine Start-up/Shutdown
The 2301D-ST provides configurable turbine start-up
scheduling via a Valve Ramp. On start-up, the turbine
accelerates according to the Valve Ramp schedule until the
speed control loop takes control of the turbine. The valve
ramp can also be used to shutdown the turbine.
Isoch/Droop Operation
When configured for generator drive applications, the
2301D-ST can operate in either an isochronous or droop load
mode. In the "Isoch" mode, the 2301D-ST controls plant/unit
frequency control by maintaining turbine speed. In the
"Droop" mode the 2301D-ST controls generator load. If the
generator is connected to the utility bus while in droop mode,
the unit speed will be determined entirely by the bus
frequency. If the generator is disconnected from the utility
bus, the unit speed will droop as the load increases.
KW Droop Operation
If KW droop is configured, the control uses the output from its
integral power sensor to sense and control unit load. The
controls power sensor output can be monitored via serial
communications or through the controls analog readout. If
required, any of the controls four relay outputs can be
configured as a power level switch to drive auxiliary devices
or indicators.
Isochronous Load Sharing
The 2301D-ST includes an analog load sharing network
input, which is compatible with Woodwards 2301A line of
controls. The controls soft load/unload transfer function can
also be configured to rate limit unit loading and unloading.
SPM-A Input
Optionally the 2301D-ST can be configured to accept a 3
Vdc synchronizing signal. This input is compatible with and

CONFIGURABILITY
The configurability of the 2301D-STs application software allows such parameters as turbine speed range, gear teeth, and analog
I/O functionality, discrete I/O functionality, internal control limits, and actuator output current to be configured off-line and with
certain parameters on-line.
