Impact of Tower Shadow Effect and Wind Shear Effect on Wind Turbine Gearbox
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Durali, Mohammad (Supervisor)
Abstract
Use of renewable energy has already increased significantly. One of the renewable and suitable sources for replacement with fossil fuels is wind energy, especially wind turbines. But the design, construction, installation maintenance and operation of wind turbines are relatively expensive. One of the most expensive parts of a wind turbine is its gearbox. Wind turbines gearbox due to fluctuating loads unexpected is likely to suffer a premature fatigue. The purpose of this project is to calculate some of the oscillating loads applied to the gearbox and then to investigate the effect of these loads on the service life of the gearbox components. Tower shadow effect and wind shear effect are the...
