Prototype Design of Modified Mechanical Drive Train Gear Box System using ANSYS for Wind Power Generation

For wind power generation, the mechanical drive train system is the most important controlling component. It is extremely important with fast changes in wind speed. The goal of this article is to build a redesigned drive train system for a Type-III wind turbine. A new design of mechanical drive train system is implemented in a wind power generation system in this research. This improved design can be used to solve the voltage sag and the voltage swell problem caused by time to time variations in wind speed. The wind turbine’s pitch control, gearbox, and yaw are primarily targeted for change. The rotor’s gear box is primarily to responsible for the rotor’s sluggish rotation during low wind speeds. This paper highlights the prototype design of gear box in Type-III wind turbine system with its power smoothing characteristics. Also in this paper depicted that how the modified gearbox system can be helpful for power controls compared with the existing models. For prototype design; MATLAB simulink platform is used taking parameters of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) of ANSYS design.
