Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A compact modular assembly of a geared power train ( 100 ) and generator ( 400 ) suitable for use in a wind turbine application to maximize a step-up ratio between an input and output within a limited radial space. The power train is configured as a hybricyclic split-compound planetary gearing system with a grounded closed carrier flex pin system in a high torque stage (A), and an open carrier flex pin system in a low torque stage (B), having a step up ratio of approximately 30:1. To facilitate modular assembly and disassembly of the power train and generator, each component is mounted independently to opposite sides of a common support structure ( 500 ) anchored to a bedplate ( 502 ).
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A modular power train for a wind turbine having a nose cone and a rotor assembly, the modular power train comprising: an input shaft ( 300 A) coupled to, and driven by, a source of applied torque; an output shaft ( 300 B) coupled to, and driving, a load ( 400 ); a central support structure ( 500 ), said central support structure mounted to a supporting bedplate ( 502 ) and having an opening for passing said output shaft; a split-compound planetar…
