Managing Gearbox Failure
The wind industry has had a chronic problem with the reliability of its gearboxes [1], [2]. Experience has shown that premature gearbox failure is a leading maintenance cost driver that can easily consume the profit margin from a wind turbine operation. Condition monitoring is already understood to have potential to mitigate this risk by managing gearbox maintenance through the promises of reli...
متن کاملGearbox Fault Detection Nrel Gearbox Test Facility
the winD inDustry has experienceD a rapid expansion. As wind farms are aging, their operations and maintenance issues are gaining in significance. The wind industry has been affected by failures of wind turbine components such as main bearings, gearboxes, and generators. Replacement of failed components results in the high cost in energy production. Therefore, research in fault identification a...
متن کاملDynamic Analysis of Wind Turbine Gearbox Components
Abstract: This paper studies the dynamic response of a wind turbine gearbox under different excitation conditions. The proposed 4 degree-of-freedom (DOF) dynamic model takes into account the key factors such as the time-varying mesh stiffness, bearing stiffness, damping, static transmission error and gear backlash. Both the external excitation due to wind and the internal excitation due to the ...
متن کاملLubrication Oil Condition Monitoring and Remaining Useful Life Prediction with Particle Filtering
In order to reduce the costs of wind energy, it is necessary to improve the wind turbine availability and reduce the operational and maintenance costs. The reliability and availability of a functioning wind turbine depend largely on the protective properties of the lubrication oil for its drive train subassemblies such as the gearbox and means for lubrication oil condition monitoring and degrad...
متن کاملApplication of SPM to Detect the Wind Turbine Bearing Fault
With the widespread application of wind turbines, the Maintenance issue gets growing concern. Bearings play a critical role in industrial applications. It is necessary to effectively monitor their health status. The shock pulse method (SPM) can detect the incipient fault of bearings and prevent the fault consequence effectively. However, many researchers used laboratory data to validate the SPM...
