Study on Dynamic Simulation of Wind Turbine Gearbox Based on Pro/E and ADAMS

Abstract:

Domestic wind turbines with 1.5MW gearbox as the research object, application of virtual prototyping technology (ADAMS) simulation of dynamics of wind turbine gearbox when braking .According to research gear box structure, size and other parameters, using Pro / E software to create a solid model of wind turbine gearboxes. After importing to the ADAMS software, add the necessary constraints and loads, virtual prototype model of the gearbox is established. The simulation of dynamics of wind turbine gearbox are carried out by using ADAMS, and the angular velocity of the in-out shaft, gear meshing force and the vibration when braking cloud are obtained. That result is match with the theoretical value through analysis and the accuracy of ADAMS simulation is verified. The simulation results show that the design level of wind turbine gearboxes can be improved by using the virtual prototype technology and lay a good foundation for further design.
