Abstract

The drivetrain of wind turbines consists of many complicated rotary elements such as planetary gear, parallel gear train, bearing etc. The drivetrain of the wind turbine are studied with many different modeling techniques in several works. However, the things come to complicated when considering a complete drivetrain of a wind turbine. In this study, conventional and numerical methods will be utilized to analyze the torsional vibration of a sample wind turbine drivetrain. Each element in the drivetain of the sample wind turbine is modeled with a specific inertia or stiffness element. Dynamic characteristics of the drivetrain are investigated with the theoretical method and numerical simulation. Then, the application of vibration absorber to the drivetrain to attenuate the torsional vibration in the system is studied. The optimal configuration and location of the absorber are introduced and the effects of the absorber are investigated. The absorber shows good performance on the torsion vibration reduction for the drivetrain of the sample wind turbine.
