How to replace a yaw drive in a wind turbine

The main parts of the yaw brake hydraulic system and their functions are Accumulator: The accumulator stores fluid under pressure, and serves as a backup source of clamping pressure if system pressure is lost. Bleed Valve: Used to drain fluid from the accumulator to relieve pressure during service operations. Brake Calipers: Pressure in the brake…

A wind turbine is a sophisticated system of components that must all work together to efficientlyproduce power. Like most sophisticated systems, it can be divided into sections. Some sections are dedicated to capturing the wind energy. Other sections convert the mechanical kinetic energy into electrical energy. All of the sections depend on a control system…
