Design and dynamic simulation of a fixed pitch 56 kW wind turbine drive train with a continuously variable transmission
This report covers the dynamic analysis of a horizontal axis fixed pitch wind turbine generator (WTG) that is rated at 56 kW. A mechanical Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) was incorporated in the drive train to provide variable speed operation capability. One goal of the dynamic analysis was to determine if variable speed operation, by means of a mechanical CVT, is capable of capturing the transient power in the WTG/wind environment. Another goal was to determine the extent of power regulation possible with CVT operation.
