Dynamic Research with Drivetrain Simulation and Modal Analysis of Wind Turbine Gearbox

Article Preview

Abstract:

The dynamic performance of wind turbine gearbox is very important for measuring the integrated vibration and noise of the whole drivetrain system of wind turbine. The stiffiness and modal parameters of the gearbox will influence the system vibration situation obviously. The wind turbine gearbox is a kind of complicated coupled mechanics; it means the modal analysis on gearbox should consider the coupling effects of the components and define logical damping factors. This paper presents a method to simulate wind turbine gearbox system with the multi-body drivetrain dynamic analysis software. The modal analysis of wind turbine gearbox can be carried out on the basis of the multi-body dynamic theory.
