This paper presents a review of existing theory and practice relating to main bearings for
wind turbines. The main bearing performs the critical role of supporting the turbine rotor, with …

Wind power, being a recyclable and renewable resource, makes for a sizable portion of the
new energy generation sector. Nonetheless, the wind energy industry is experiencing early …

This review article aims to provide an overview and insight into the most relevant aspects of
wind energy development and current state-ofthe-art. The industry is in a very mature stage …

This paper presents an in depth evaluation and comparison of three different drivetrain
choices based on permanent‐magnet synchronous generator (PMSG) technology for 10 …

This paper investigates the relationship between wind turbine main‐bearing loads and the
characteristics of the incident wind field in which the wind turbine is operating. For a 2‐MW …

The grid code for renewable energy is increasingly strict to circumvent issues with grid
stability and reliability. One grid code standard that is enforced for most modern variable …

This work develops an optimization algorithm for the definition of gear microgeometry
modifications (MGM) on a gearbox belonging to an offshore 10‐MW wind turbine …

In this paper, the planetary load-sharing behavior and fatigue life of different wind turbine
gearboxes when subjected to rotor moments are examined. Two planetary bearing designs …

This work considers the characteristics and drivers of the loads experienced by wind turbine
main bearings. Simplified load response models of two different hub and main-bearing …

This paper proposes an efficient hybrid approach for the fast and efficient MPPT in WECS.
The system consists of an MPPT based control of IPMSG consisting of a hybrid Meta …
