ABSTRACT

This review article summarizes the previously published studies on horizontal axis wind turbine gearbox system and their advantages. From the available literature, the gearbox technology is classified into three major types such as Planetary Gearbox (PG), Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), and Magnetic Gearbox (MG). Other gearbox types are installed and successfully running under prototype mode. The mechanical gear box types are normally used in large size wind turbines and they have some drawbacks such as high maintenance cost, gearbox failures, less reliable. The mechanical variable ratio gearbox is more appropriate type for the extraction of maximum power with reduce the use of power electronic devices. The outcome of the review suggests that the variable ratio gear box system is more suitable to extract the maximum energy and also recommend for high service loads, and harsh operating conditions.

摘要

这篇评论文章总结了以前发表的关于水平轴风力涡轮机齿轮箱系统的研究及其优势。从现有文献来看，变速箱技术分为三大类，例如行星变速箱（PG）、无级变速器（CVT）和磁力变速箱（MG）。其他类型的变速箱已安装并在原型模式下成功运行。机械齿轮箱类型通常用于大型风力涡轮机，它们存在维护成本高、齿轮箱故障、可靠性不高等缺点。机械可变比齿轮箱更适合用于提取最大功率并减少使用电力电子设备的类型。
