Optimal Design of Gear Transmission System of Increasing Speed for Half-Direct-Drive Tidal Current Energy Station

Abstract:

The half-direct-drive transmission is conducted for the transmission system of tidal current power stations using a small speed-up ratio of planetary gearbox between turbine and generator. A design model is developed for the optimization of the planetary gear transmission system. And a mixed genetic algorithm is applied on the basis of fundamentals of genetic algorithm to carry out the optimization. From the example calculation, a better design scheme is obtained by the optimization.
