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…

Power from the yaw motors is transmitted to the yaw ring through a reduction gearbox which provides both speed reduction and torque multiplication. This yaw drive uses a planetary gearbox with the motor mounted vertically at the top. Planetary gearboxes are often used on commercial wind turbines because they offer high reduction ratios from a…
