Firstly, the static transmission error combined with manufacturing error of the gear is deduced. Then, the nonlinear dynamic model of planetary gear transmission system of wind turbine is set up with the consideration of time-varying mesh stiffness, backlash and manufacturing error. Finally, the statistical characteristics of Vibration displacement response process of each component of planetary gear transmission system are obtained by simulation analysis of the planetary gear system of 1.5MW Semi-direct drive wind turbine with the consideration of the torque fluctuation caused by wind speed.

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.

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.

Using lumped parameter method, the dynamic model involving 6 degrees of freedom for every helical gear is established with taking the time-varying mesh stiffness and error into account. The results show that the transmission system is quasi-periodic under the operating speed, and the vibration direction of gear with a large amplitude is obtained.

Abstract The traditional research on the dynamics of planetary gear transmission system is based on the assumption that the support is on the ground. However, the planetary gear transmission system inside the aircraft is spatially moved along with the airframe, which is not only subject to gravity, but also to convected inertia force and Coriolis inertia force, as well as gyroscopic moment. These loads affect the dynamic characteristics of the planetary gear transmission system. In order to investigate the dynamic behavior of planetary gear transmission system in non-inertial system of aerospace environment, the kinematic equations of the central component and planetary gear in arbitrary spatial motion state of the airframe are deduced with the influence of internal non-inertial system and external non-inertial system. Subsequently, the coupling dynamic model of planetary gear transmission system is established, which is in non-inertial system of aerospace environment. The motion variation law of planetary gear transmission system in the non-inertial system and the dynamic behavior of each component in different non-inertial conditions are researched based on the hovering motion of the airframe. The results indicate that the radial equilibrium position of the planetary gear has great offset due to the influence of non-inertial system inside the planetary gear train when the airframe has no spatial motion. Moreover, the gravity on each component will generate radial force, which and additional inertial force will vary with the external non-inertia conditions when the airframe is in the state of spatial motion. In addition, different non-inertial conditions have significant influence on the motion trajectory, bearing force and acceleration of each component, and have different influence rules on the central component and planetary gear.

In this study, the dynamic model for the herringbone planetary gear transmission system is established by the lumped parameter method based on the system dynamics and the Lagrange equation, and the impact of the support stiffness and the torsional stiffness on dynamic characteristics is studied. The research results have a guiding significance for the design of the herringbone gear transmission system. In this model, the herringbone gear is treated as a special gear coupled by 2 opposite helical gears, where the stagger angle, comprehensive meshing error, support stiffness, support damping, and load inertia are considered in the analysis of dynamics. Moreover, the dynamic characteristic of the carrier is considered as well. By calculating the meshing force curve of the transmission system, the impact of the stagger angle, supporting stiffness, and the torsional stiffness on meshing force and load sharing coefficient is analyzed. The results show that the stagger angle has an obvious impact on load sharing coefficient while it has little impact on maximum meshing force. And the support stiffness has a more obvious impact on the dynamic characteristics of the system. The recommendary support stiffness of the system is that all of the support stiffness of the sun gear, planetary gear, ring gear, and carrier is 107 N/m. The torsional stiffness has little impact on the dynamic characteristics of transmission system, except the torsional stiffness of planetary gear, and carrier has an obvious impact on load sharing coefficient. The commercial software ADAMS carried out dynamics analysis of the transmission system to verify the necessity validity of the theoretical analysis.

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of gear transmission system of wind turbine with random wind and the effect of random backlash on system stability, a stochastic volatility model is established to obtain the external excitation of gear transmission system of wind turbine. A dynamic model of system is set up with the consideration of gear time-varying mesh stiffness, transmission error and backlash. The dynamic behavior of system with random wind and the effect of random backlash on system stability are obtained using numerical method. The results show that: (1) The vibration displacement of system components has the similar trends with external excitation, and the higher the speed, the greater the vibration displacement. (2) Random backlash has a significantly influence on system stability. The instability of system decreases at first and then increases with the increase of mean backlash, and the stability of system decrease with the increase of standard deviation of backlash. The operation stability of a wind turbine will improve if select an appropriate gear backlash.
