Abstract

Dynamic analysis result of the geared rotor system is always important in the wind turbine gearboxes’ design stage, but there is sometimes great distinction between the calculation value and the real one because the wind turbine gearboxes is an integrated system, which is composed by many components besides the geared rotor. To improve the simulation precision, a reasonable modeling method of each component and connection method among components are needed. In this chapter, the whole gearbox finite element model is built and the natural characteristics (natural frequencies and mode shapes) of the whole gearbox are calculated.
