  Woodward Governor Company has manufactured prime mover controls and accessories since 1870. Installations range from the largest hydroelectric dams to remote diesel powered generation facilities in the Arctic. In September 1992 Woodward achieved ISO 9001 registration, certificate number QSR-36. Woodward has a full line of field proven governors, actuators and controls to meet your needs for prime mover and system control. A wide ranges of specialized products are available for generator control, steam and gas turbines, compressor control, load sharing, synchronizing and systems management.
Examples of some Woodward governor systems are:
  The Woodward Peak 150 electronic steam turbine control is field proven, providing major benefits over the old mechanical / hydraulic governors. This economical control offers easy set up and tuning, front mounted operator keypad, remote control, Modbus communications capability, and process control. Applications include boiler feed water pumps, amine & sulphonal pumps, induced draft and forced draft fans. The process functions can be incorporated to fluctuate the turbine speed to match the desire pressure required in a system. Thereby reducing pump re-circulation and greatly improving efficiency.
