Control Solutions for Reliable and Clean Power Generation in Data Centers
As artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services drive unprecedented demand for reliable power, Woodward supports data center power generation with critical control, fuel management, actuation, and power management technologies.
Our solutions support backup, prime, and behind-the-meter systems for hyperscale, colocation, and enterprise data centers, including gas turbines, gas and diesel generator sets, hybrid resources, battery energy storage, and electrical transfer and switchgear applications.
Power Management
Woodward’s Power Management products help data center operations keep power reliable, efficient, and well-controlled. We support efficient power distribution and conversion, helping operators maintain uptime, improve visibility, and manage energy use more effectively.
Our scalable products range from genset controllers to automatic transfer switch controllers, to breaker controllers.
Engine Controls
Woodward engine control and fuel system technologies support dependable starting, fast load acceptance, stable speed control, and efficient operation of diesel, gas, and dual-fuel generator sets.
They help equipment manufacturers and facility operators keep standby assets ready, while also supporting generator sets used for prime, bridge, or behind-the-meter power.
Turbine Controls
Woodward turbine controls, actuation, valves, and protection technologies support gas turbine generator packages used for high-capacity onsite generation.
Our solutions help manage starting, acceleration, speed and load control, fuel delivery, and protective functions. They can support simple-cycle, combined-cycle, and cogeneration configurations where rapid response, high availability, operating visibility are essential.
Why Woodward for Data Center Power Generation?
Reliable Backup and Onsite Power
Supports dependable starting and stable operation of generator sets and turbine systems when critical computing loads cannot tolerate an interruption.
Fast Load Response
Helps generating assets respond to rapid load changes and coordinate the transition between utility supply, onsite generation, and stored energy.
Power Quality & Stability
Supports frequency, voltage, synchronization, protection, and load-sharing functions across complex critical-power systems.
Hybrid Power Architecture
Helps integrate generator sets, gas turbines, renewable resources, and battery energy storage within coordinated power architectures.
Scalable System Control
Can support applications ranging from individual backup generator sets to multi-unit, behind-the-meter power plants serving large campuses.
Reduced Downtime Risk
Integrated control and protection help operators maintain readiness, improve system visibility, and reduce the risk of power interruptions.
More Efficient, Lower-Emission Operation
Helps optimize fuel use and enables flexible generation strategies that can incorporate lower-carbon fuels and energy resources.
