Wind Turbine Gearbox: Introduction
The blades, the hub, and the main shaft of a wind turbine harness the kinetic energy of the wind and convert it into rotational mechanical energy. The speed of this rotation is too slow to drive the generator efficiently, so a gearbox converts the high-torque and low-speed mechanical energy of the main shaft into the…
