Technology Insights Brief: Hydraulic Drive Trains for Wind Turbines

Wind turbines that swap traditional mechanical drive trains for hydraulic drive trains could potentially be lighter, more reliable and less expensive than those in the field today.

Alternative Drive Train Configurations

A few of the considerable variety of layout and bearing options of the drive train, with gearbox and conventional high speed generator, were discussed in Architecture of a Modern Wind Turbine.

Wind turbine drive train systems

The main function of a drive train is power transmission, i.e. to convert the mechanical energy at the rotor hub of the wind turbine to electrical energy, and to send it to the load/grid. The main

Drive & Control Technology for Wind Turbines

The drive system determines eficiency and reliability of a wind turbine. Rexroth offers a wide range of drive solutions – applicable to all types of wind turbines.

Advanced Wind Turbine Drivetrain Trends and Opportunities

The drivetrain is the “powerhouse” of a wind turbine, containing the generator and gearbox which converts the torque—or rotation of the blades—into electricity.
