Title: Wind Turbine Design Guideline DG03: Yaw and Pitch Rolling Bearing Life

Abstract

This report describes the design criteria, calculation methods, and applicable standards recommended for use in performance and life analyses of ball and roller (rolling) bearings for yaw and pitch motion support in wind turbine applications. The formulae presented here for rolling bearing analytical methods and bearing-life ratings are consistent with methods in current use by wind turbine designers and rolling-bearing manufacturers.

  • This report surveys the analysis and tests performed at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, on a horizontal-axis, two-laded wind turbine with teeter hub. The introduction is a brief account of results obtained during the 5-year period ending December 1985. The wind tunnel model and the test turbine (7.6 m [25 ft.] in diameter) at Washington University`s Tyson Research Center had a 67{degree} delta-three angle of the teeter axis. The introduction explains why this configuration was selected and named the passive cycle pitch (PCP) wind turbine. Through the analysis was not limited to the PCP rotor, all tests, including thosemore » done from 1986 to 1994, wee conducted with the same teetered wind rotor. The blades are rather stiff and have only a small elastic coning angle and no precone.« less

    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.

    This report covers the design and cost aspects of a fixed-pitch, 400-kW Wind Turbine Generator (WTG) concept. Goal of the study was to achieve improvements in reliability and cost reductions with fixed-pitch operation and by incorporating recent advances in WTG technology. The specifications for this WTG concept as supplied by Lewis were as follows: (1) A fixed-pitch, continuous wooden rotor was to be provided by the Gougeon Bros. Co. under NASA contract. (2) An 8-leg hyperboloid tower that showed promise as a low cost structure was to be used. (3) Only commercially available components and parts that could be easilymore » fabricated were to be considered. (4) Design features deemed desirable based on recent NASA research efforts were to be incorporated. Detailed costs and weight estimates were prepared for the second machine and a wind farm of 12 WTG's. The calculated cost of energy (COE) for the fixed-pitch, twelve-unit wind farm is 11.5 cents/kW-h not including the cost of land and access roads. The study has shown feasibility of fixed-pitch, intermediate power WTG operation. To achieve a competitive COE, further reductions in cost and increases in energy production are needed and possible.« less

    AES conducted a conceptual study of independent pitch control using inflow angle sensors. The control strategy combined input from turbine states (rotor speed, rotor azimuth, each blade pitch) with inflow angle measurements (each blade angle of attack at station 11 of 15) to derive blade pitch demand signals. The controller reduced loads sufficiently to allow a 10% rotor extension and reduce COE by 6.3%.

    The results of a two year study of the mechanisms of spall failure in the HPOTP bearings are described. The objective was to build a foundation for detailed analyses of the contact life in terms of: cyclic plasticity, contact mechanics, spall nucleation, and spall growth. Since the laboratory rolling contact testing is carried out in the 3 ball/rod contact fatigue testing machine, the analysis of the contacts and contact lives produced in this machine received attention. The results from the experimentally observed growth lives are compared with calculated predictions derived from the fracture mechanics calculations.
