Additional information

Premature gear and bearing failures in wind turbine gearboxes are emergent issues for the offshore industry. The effects of operational conditions on gear micropitting failure are not currently considered. Supported by EU FP7 ReliaWind (212966), collaboratively with leading companies including Gamesa, Alstom Power Systems (contact details available), ZF Wind Power and SKF, the theoretical assessment of gear micropitting risk is conducted using SCADA data measured from a WT in field operation. Two potential applications may be explored: implementing the developed method into SCADA systems to monitor/benchmark micropitting risk, and applying the findings of operational effects to improve future gearbox designs.
