Wind turbines last longer than ever thanks to continuous engineering improvements. Gearboxes in wind turbines, more than those in any other application, tend to fail prematurely. In fact, at some wind ...
Bad things can happen when the mechanical gearbox in a megawatt-scale wind turbine gets overstressed. An unexpected wind gust can drive turbine blades hard, so hard that the torque on the gearbox they ...
Gearboxes in general are a result of over 80 years of accumulated engineering knowledge. So why do gearboxes for wind turbines sometimes fail after seven to 11 years — way less than the anticipated 20 ...
