Abstract: This paper deals with the design of a compact gearbox for the DTU 10 MW reference offshore wind turbine. An innovative gearbox concept consisting of a fixed planetary stage and a differential compound epicyclic stage is ...

Abstract: The safe operation of ships requires the condition of propulsion components to be maintained. Digital twins are a promising alternative for intelligent monitoring of these complex systems. Digital twins require models which ...

Abstract: The existing nacelle testing methods require continuous improvements to satisfy the ever-increasing demands for testing modern wind turbines. One way to achieve this goal is to use advanced simulation techniques to undertake ...

Abstract: Common industrial practice for designing floating wind turbines is to set an operational limit for the tower-top axial acceleration, normally in the range of 0.2–0.3 g, which is typically understood to be related to the ...

Abstract: In this article a virtual sensor for online load monitoring and subsequent remaining useful life (RUL) assessment of wind turbine gearbox bearings is presented. Utilizing a Digital Twin framework the virtual sensor combines ...

Abstract: Offshore wind provides an important source of renewable energy. While wind turbines fixed to the seabed in shallow water have already been industrialized, floating wind turbines are still at an early stage of development. ...
