Bearings are parts that support and guide rotating or oscillating elements, such asaxles or wheels, and transfer loads between machine components. They offer reduced friction and therefore allow high rotational speeds while reducing noise,heat, energy consumption, and wear. No matter the model of wind turbine, bearings are often a problem in all of them. The…
Video: Wind Turbine Yaw System Introduction The wind turbine yaw control system provides two functions that are crucial to safe and efficient operation: The nacelle must point directly into the wind for maximum efficiency. Also, a rotor disk that is not perpendicular to the relative wind experiences higher loading on the portion of the disk…
