Lifetime Extension: Methodology Development And Implementation For Wind Turbine Drivetrains

越来越多的风力涡轮机正在达到其设计使用寿命的终点。由于经济因素，只要满足安全运行要求，运营商的利益是使其风力涡轮机在其设计使用寿命之外继续运行。这个过程被称为寿命延长。虽然相对成熟的做法存在的结构构件的寿命延长，机电和传动系统往往被忽视。因此，这个博士将着眼于开发一种方法，分析工具和框架的寿命延长的风力涡轮机传动系统。

More and more wind turbines are reaching the end of their designed service life. Due to economic factors, it is in the operator's interest to keep their wind turbines operating beyond their designed service life, as long as the safe operational requirements are met. This process is known as lifetime extension. Whilst relatively well-established practices exist for the lifetime extension of the structural members, the electro-mechanical and drivetrain are often overlooked. Therefore, this PhD will look at developing a methodology, analysis tools and the framework for the lifetime extension of the wind turbine drivetrains.
