Design and Application of a Planetary Gearbox for Small Wind Turbines

Article Preview

Abstract:

A planetary gear train consists of a sun gear, planet gears, and a ring gear and these gears are arranged as a concentric circle type. The gearbox proposed in this study arranges the planetary gear type as a double planetary gear train in which the output of the primary gear train is used as an input to the secondary planetary gear for accelerating its speed. In this design, a method that directly connects the input and output sections is introduced to obtain a high acceleration ratio and its applicability is verified for applying it to a small wind turbine through designing and fabricating the planetary gearbox.
