Three-Stage Planetary Gear System
Date
Jan 2023
What?
Designing and optimising a wind turbine transmission mechanism focusing on efficiency, noise reduction, and longevity.
How?
Through research on gear configurations, development of a planetary gear set, 3D CAD modelling, and optimisation via simulation testing and material selection.
Results
Improved gear design with higher stress tolerance and efficiency, noise reduction through helical teeth implementation, and a significant increase in safety factor from FEA results, despite increased manufacturing costs.
