Design optimization of speed increaser installed on wind power generator / Wang Lesu
Wind power speed increaser is a low-speed and heavy-duty gear transmission equipment. It serves as one of the important components in wind turbine. The working environment and characteristics determine that it often breaks down after long term operation. Therefore, the design, reliability and dyn...

Wind power speed increaser is a low-speed and heavy-duty gear transmission
equipment. It serves as one of the important components in wind turbine. The working
environment and characteristics determine that it often breaks down after long term
operation. Therefore, the design, reliability and dynamics of wind power speed increaser
are highly demanded. Thus, the static analysis & dynamic analysis are used to check the
safety of increaser and optimization are used to improve the reliability of it. This study
used Shigley's design method and computational analysis (FEA) to analyze the
feasibility of the design. Safety factor was calculated by Shigley's design method; static
analysis, dynamic analysis and design optimization were carried out by using ANSYS
Workbench 18.0 software. The speed increaser was analyzed on safety factors,
maximum stress & maximum deformation of gears, shafts, keys and casing. Based on
the Shigley's design methods, the results have shown that gears, shafts, keys and bearing
do not have any failure. For computational analysis, all gears, bearing and casing also
do not indicate any failure in static analysis and dynamic analysis. However, it is noted
that the equivalent stress of shaft III is too large reaching 1148.5 MPa and the fatigue
safety factors of shaft III and key III is 0.33 and 1.03, respectively, which indicates
fatigue failure is likely happen in these machine components. The problems are mainly
focused on the strength failure. Design optimization is focused on reducing stress and
increasing safety factor. The diameter and fillet of shaft, length and width of key are
used as input parameters. The best candidate from the design optimization analysis
showed a positive result by increasing diameter of shaft and increasing length and width of key. The fatigue safety factor of shaft increased to 1.4 and stress reduces to
279.64MPa. The fatigue safety factor of key also increased to 1.48. |
