The Dynamic Behaviour of the Conventional Power Transmission Mechanism in Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines

Abstract

This study aims to theoretically investigate the dynamic behavior of the conventional power transmission mechanism in horizontal-axis wind turbines. For this purpose, a new theoretical model was developed by evaluating the non-dimensional design parameters described. With this model, different non-dimensional parameters called the generator torque (T-G) and the coefficient of effectiveness (K-t) were defined for the purpose of estimating the power transmitted to the generator.
