Woodward Troubleshooting & Technical Support

Bartech Controls provides troubleshooting, commissioning, governor overhaul, modernization, and technical support for Woodward control systems across marine, offshore, industrial, utility, and critical power applications.

With 37 years of combined Woodward experience, including factory training at Woodward Fort Collins, Colorado (USA), and Woodward Stuttgart, Germany, we support marine and power generation systems from 30 kW standby generators to 30 MW power plants, helping operators restore reliability, improve performance, and minimize downtime.

Experiencing Governor Instability, Synchronizing Problems, or Uneven Load Sharing?

When your power generation system suffers from unstable engine speed, slow synchronization, synchronization failures, load-sharing problems, overspeed trips, nuisance alarms, or blackout events, rapid diagnosis and expert support are essential.

Technical Troubleshooting Services

Governor, Actuator & Speed Control Problems

Diagnosis and repair of speed hunting, frequency fluctuations, unstable engine response, actuator failures, overspeed trips, governor tuning issues, fuel system irregularities, and mechanical wear.

Generator Synchronizing Problems

Troubleshooting of synchronizer failures, breaker-closing faults, uncontrollable frequency, communication failures, and utility paralleling problems.

Load Sharing & Power Management

Resolution of unequal kW and kVAR sharing, droop instability, reverse-power trips, AVR interaction issues, communication faults, and power management configuration errors.

Governor Modernization & Electronic Control Upgrades

We upgrade legacy mechanical and analogue governors to modern Woodward electronic control systems, including CAT 3161 to UG-A actuator conversions, EPG to DPG upgrades, SPM-A to SPM-D migrations, 2301 to 2301E upgrades, 700 Series to 723 controls, 2301LSSC to easYgen™ conversions, and mechanical governor conversions to EM-80 electronic control systems.

Our modernization solutions improve speed regulation, synchronization performance, load-sharing accuracy, diagnostic capabilities, and long-term reliability while extending equipment life.

We also specialize in troubleshooting, commissioning, tuning, and modernization of large-engine applications utilizing Woodward 723 Digital Controls, including marine, offshore, industrial, and utility power generation systems up to 30 MW.
