HORIZONTAL AXIS WIND TURBINE- A REVIEW

Abstract

One of the most renewable energy sources is the Horizontal Axis Wind Turbine (HAWT). We plan, study and fabricate the HAWT gearbox in this article. We develop the gearbox in this paper in conjunction with the Brendan Speechleys technique. Static analyses are analyses. As its high cost time that we do not make the initial model, we produce a gearbox prototype. The gearbox is planetary gearbox and the machinery used is helical or spurry. The gross transmission ratio is 100:1. The transmission speed is 1500 rpm. Commercial or residential application of horizontal wind turbines. We will generate the ANSYS model by deciding geometry of the gearbox and all parameters. And then, in ANSYS applications, we evaluate this model. The aims of this paper are to decrease gearbox size and weight, improve reliability and eliminate vibration.
