4 FAQs about Wind turbine gearbox cooling

Why should a wind turbine gearbox be removed?

The high-speed running of gearbox cause power loss which transfer into heat and it should be remove from the gearbox. The temperature limitation of gearbox is a main requirement for safe operation. Generally, every large wind turbine has a cooling system and a lubrication heater.

How to cool a wind turbine?

Through the years challenges of cooling systems for wind turbine caused the new cooling systems. A simple way to cooling the turbine is using the small part of inlet air to the nacelle and filling the needed part and finally exhausting the air from nacelle . These days in MW wind turbines use oil or water for cooling.

Why does wind turbine gearbox temperature increase?

The gearbox of the wind turbine is regularly submitted to random variation of stress due to the variable wind speed that can sometimes reach 80 kms/h. It frequently happens that the gearbox temperature increases dramatically. This increase of the temperature is correlated with an accentuated degradation of the gearbox components.

What is a wind turbine gearbox?

The wind turbine gearbox is a critical component in the transfer of power in a wind turbine's driveline. Different types of wind turbine gearboxes have been investigated in terms of technology Bharani and Sivaprakasam . Mechanical planetary gearboxes are used in large wind turbines.
