Purpose Irregular windy loads are loaded for a wind turbine. This paper aims to determine the form of gear failure and the working life of the gear system by assessing the dynamic strength of gears and dynamic stress distribution. Design/methodology/approach The helical planetary gear system of the wind turbine growth rate gearbox was investigated, and while a variety of clearance and friction gear meshing processes were considered in the planetary gear system, a finite element model was built based on the contact–impact dynamics theory, solved using the explicit algorithm. The impact stress of the sun gear of the planetary gear system was calculated under different loads. An integrated planetary gear meshing stiffness, and the error of system dynamic transmission error were investigated when the planetary gear meshes with the sun or ring gears. Findings The load has little effect on the sun gear of the impact stress which was known. The varying stiffness is different while the planetary gear meshes with the sun and ring gears. There were differences between the planetary gear system and the planetary gear, and with load, the planetary gear transmission error decreases. Originality/value This study will provide basis knowledge for the planetary gear system.

Planetary gear transmission system is one of the primary parts of the wind turbine drive train. Due to the assembly state, lubrication conditions and wear, the mesh stiffness of the planetary gear system is an uncertain parameter. In this paper, taking the uncertainty of mesh stiffness into account, the dynamic responses of a wind turbine gear system subjected to wind loads and transmission error excitations are studied. Firstly, a lumped-parameter model is extended to include both the planetary and parallel gears. Then the fluctuation ranges of dynamic mesh forces are predicted quantitatively and intuitively based on the combined Chebyshev interval inclusion function and numerical integration method. Finally, examples of gear trains with different interval mesh stiffnesses are simulated and the results show that tooth separations are becoming more obvious at the resonant speed by considering the fluctuating mesh stiffness of the second parallel gear stage. The nonlinear tooth separations are degenerated obviously as the fluctuation error of the mesh stiffness of the second parallel gear set is increased.

Tooth breakage is a typical failure form of wind-turbine planetary gear transmission system, it is important to study the influence of tooth breakage on vibration characteristics of planetary gear transmission system. In this paper, considering the tooth breakage defect, a lumped parameter vibration model of a planetary gear system with time-periodic mesh stiffness is established. Effects of the length and width of tooth breakage on meshing stiffness and dynamic response are discussed in detail. The relation between characteristic frequency of the tooth breakage fault and rotating speeds is pointed out. Several statistical indicators are utilized to show the influence of two parameters (length of planet tooth breakage and input speed) on the dynamic response of the system. Experiments are carried out to verify the simulation results. These results would be useful for fault diagnosis of wind turbine transmission system at different operation conditions.

Abstract Noise reduction in geared systems is usually achieved by minimizing transmission error or by changing the gear train’s dynamic response. While considerable research has been directed in the past to understanding and controlling the transmission error, the same can not be said of the system dynamic response. Recent efforts at modifying the dynamic response to reduce the sensitivity to transmission error have proven to be very rewarding for parallel shaft gearing applications. In this paper, these efforts are extended to planetary gear set applications. A major difference between planetary gear sets and parallel shaft gears is that in planetary gear sets many gear meshes carry load instead of just one. This feature poses a modeling problem as to how to combine responses due to transmission errors at each loaded mesh to determine the total response. A method is proposed in this paper in which transmission errors at different gear meshes are combined into net vertical, net lateral and net tangential transmission errors. A methodology for computing dynamic mesh force response due to these net transmission errors and for identifying critical components that control the gear train system dynamics is presented. These techniques are useful in understanding the effects of system dynamics on gear noise and in developing quiet gear design. To demonstrate the salient features of the proposed method, an example analysis of a transmission with a planetary gear set is presented.

The expression of dynamic factor which described by external change load and deformation vibration was studied. Then, the response characteristics and dynamic load of planetary gear system of wind turbine have been studied with the consideration of changing external load and time-varying stiffness, mesh phase and nonlinear stiffness of bearing. The results show that: the frequency response of system reflects the low frequency component of external load. The influence of external incentives on sun gear and planet gear is very significant, and the distinguish between low frequency vibration and high frequency vibration is obvious. The flexibility of system has an obvious impact on dynamic load of bearing. The results lay a foundation for strength design and fatigue analysis of wind turbine gearbox.

According to the working characteristics of a 1.5 MW wind turbine planetary gear system under complex and random wind load, a two-parameter Weibull distribution model is used to describe the distribution of random wind speed, and the time-varying load caused by random wind speed is obtained. The nonlinear dynamic model of planetary gear transmission system is established by using the lumped parameter method, and the relative relations among various components are derived by using Lagrange method. Then, the relative relationship between the components is solved by Runge Kutta method. Considering the influence of random load and stiffness ratio on the planetary gear transmission system, the nonlinear dynamic response of cyclic load and random wind load on the transmission system is analyzed. The analysis results show that the variation of the stiffness ratio makes the planetary gear have abundant nonlinear dynamics behavior and the planetary gear can get rid of chaos and enter into stable periodic motion by changing the stiffness ratio properly on the premise of ensuring transmission efficiency. For the variable pitch wind turbine, the random change of external load increases the instability of the system.
