Parallel Generator Load Sharing Solution — WOODWARD 9907-252 | Load Sharing Module
The WOODWARD 9907-252 Load Sharing Module is a precision analog control device engineered to equalize real power (kW) distribution across multiple generator sets operating in parallel. Deployed in mission-critical power plants, marine vessels, offshore platforms, and industrial facilities worldwide, this module ensures stable isochronous load sharing without hunting or instability — even under rapid load transients.
Where This Product Is Used
Engineers and plant operators specify the 9907-252 in applications where two or more generator sets must share electrical load in precise proportion:
- Data Center Backup Power Plants — Maintains equal kW loading across N+1 or N+2 diesel genset configurations, preventing single-unit overload during utility outages.
- Marine Main Propulsion & Hotel Load Systems — Installed aboard cargo ships, ferries, and offshore supply vessels to synchronize generator output and stabilize bus voltage under variable hotel and propulsion loads.
- Offshore Oil & Gas Platforms — Coordinates power generation on isolated electrical islands where grid support is unavailable and load balance is safety-critical.
- Industrial Cogeneration (CHP) Plants — Balances load between gas turbine generators and steam turbine generators in combined heat and power installations.
- Mining & Remote Site Power Systems — Manages parallel diesel gensets at off-grid mine sites, reducing fuel consumption through optimized load distribution.
- Hospital & Critical Infrastructure Emergency Power — Ensures seamless load sharing during generator paralleling events in life-safety power systems.
- Shipyard & Drydock Shore Power Systems — Coordinates multiple generator sets supplying variable loads during vessel maintenance operations.

Why Engineers Specify This Model
- Proven Isochronous Load Sharing — The 9907-252 uses cross-current compensation to achieve tight frequency regulation (isochronous) while distributing kW load proportionally — eliminating the frequency droop penalty common in simpler droop-only systems.
- Plug-Compatible with WOODWARD Governor Ecosystem — Designed to interface directly with WOODWARD EG, UG, and 2301 series governors, minimizing integration engineering effort and reducing commissioning time.
- Analog Simplicity = High Reliability — Analog control architecture means no firmware dependencies, no cybersecurity exposure, and straightforward field troubleshooting — critical for remote or offshore installations.
- Stable Under Transient Loads — Engineered to handle sudden load steps (motor starts, large switching events) without hunting or instability across the paralleled bus.
- Long Field Service History — The 9907-252 has decades of documented deployment in marine, industrial, and power generation applications, providing a well-understood maintenance and spare-parts profile.
- Scalable to Multiple Units — The cross-current loop architecture scales to three or more paralleled generators without architectural changes.

Application-Specific FAQ
Q: Can the 9907-252 be used with non-WOODWARD governors?
A: The module uses a standard analog cross-current compensation signal. Compatibility with third-party governors depends on their analog input specifications. Contact Konmask.com for a compatibility assessment before ordering.
Q: What is the difference between the 9907-252 and the WOODWARD 2301 series?
A: The 9907-252 is a dedicated analog load sharing module designed to augment existing governor systems. The 2301 series integrates speed control and load sharing in a single digital controller. The 9907-252 is preferred for retrofitting existing analog governor installations.
Q: How many generators can be paralleled using this module?
A: The cross-current loop architecture supports two or more generators. Practical limits depend on system design and wiring. Installations with three or more units are common in marine and industrial applications.
Q: Is this module suitable for gas turbine generator applications?
A: Yes, provided the turbine governor system accepts the analog load sharing signal. Confirm governor interface specifications with your turbine OEM before specifying.
Q: What is the typical lead time for the 9907-252?
A: In-stock units ship within 1–3 business days. For out-of-stock situations, lead time is typically 4–8 weeks depending on WOODWARD production schedules. Contact Konmask.com for current stock status.
