Abstract
Wind turbine gearbox is a key component to transmit power in wind turbine driveline. It is necessary for gearbox to have high reliability and durable quality, and so, it is obviously important to analyze the reliability of key components and the root of common failure. By means of RomaxWIND software, gearbox simulation model was built which is based on the flexible FE structures. Considering the effects of flexible FE structures, such as housing and ring gear, and capturing system effects, analysis is performed to estimate the performance of components under 20 years’ LDD, and the bearing and gear report were generated. Gear mesh misalignment is one of the major gearbox failure causes. In view of it, three different models were built for the analysis of mesh misalignment, the result reveal that the effect of flexible FE structures should not be ignored.
