Success factors for drive trains in wind turbines
(PresseBox) - Drive Trains of Wind Turbines", the 2nd international VDI Conference, on the 17th and 18th September 2013 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, discusses the latest developments and trends in geared drive train technology
The operation of the drive train from the rotor to the generator at optimum rotation speed is crucial for the efficiency of wind turbines. If the rotor runs too slowly, it produces insufficient energy. If it rotates too fast, the entire turbine can be damaged. Consequently, developers continually strive to optimize drive train systems. This topic will be center stage at the 2nd international VDI conference "Drive Trains of Wind Turbines" on the 17th and 18th September 2013 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Under the conference direction of Prof. Dr. lr. Daniel J. Rixen of the Technische Universität München and Dipl.-Ing. Jörg Litzba of ZF Wind Power in Antwerpen, Belgium, experts will report on all aspects of drive trains in wind turbines.
Sven Voormeeren of Siemens Wind Power in the Netherlands will show how maintenance costs for wind turbines can be efficiently reduced. Vormeeren will present several opportunties for cutting costs, as well as the potential for dynamic load reduction. Winergy's Florian Hanisch will use the conference to speak about new developments in gearboxes that optimize the vibration behavior of wind turbines. Hanisch employs static and dynamic simulations and presents successful verification using prototypes and field tests. Experts from Moventas Gears Oy in Finland will report on the improvement of drive train reliability.
Further on, Edwin Hidding of GE Wind Energy will show both the theoretical and practical view of the operating reliability of gearboxes. Sönke Siegfriedsen of aerodyn Energy Systems will talk about his conceptual considerations as a basis for the detailed design of highly integrated drive trains, as well as his experience with the operation of prototypes. Additional interesting lectures will be held, for example by Vestas Wind Systems, SKF and Bosch Rexroth Monitoring Systems.
