A Planet Bearing Fault Case of Wind Turbine Gearbox

Article Preview

Abstract:

Doubly-fed wind power generator takes the largest share of wind energy. However, as the most important part, the speed-up gearbox is easy to be damaged. The existing researches about gearbox faults are mainly about gear fault, the study of bearing fault is relatively less compared with gear fault, expecially for the bearing fault of planet gear. This article presents a typical case of bearing fault about planet gear, which contains the cause of vibration behaviour and the analysis of fault.
