Model-Based Analysis and Reduction of Spread in Wind Turbine Gearbox Performance and Testing KU Leuven
This PhD research focuses on the development, usage and validation of numerical techniques to investigate and eliminate source of spread in gearbox performance and testing. This research is particularly valuable in the wind energy industry, where wind turbine noise is strictly regulated and gearboxes are designed such that tonal noise remains below prescribed levels. Non-anticipated variations in gearbox manufacturing and assembly can lead to ...
