Woodward Controls
The Woodward control product family complements our portfolio of GE-manufactured products for gas, steam, and hydro turbine controls retrofits. This versatile product portfolio is ideal for plug-n-play replacement of existing Woodward governor controls and can be easily expanded to encompass complete control and protection systems with auxiliaries, supervisory instrumentation, and driven load equipment.
GE offers control upgrades for the installed base. In addition, the compressor controls can be provided either as a standalone product or as an integrated turbine-compressor control (ITCC) for a cost-effective, efficient control system.
