Effects of transient loading on wind turbine drivetrains
This project aims to tackle some of the fundamental issues with modelling the drivetrain of the wind turbine. Reliability data shows that gearboxes and generators have higher failure rates than expected, in particular the high speed bearings which are shown to be most problematic. Models of gearboxe...
