4MW급 풍력발전기용 요 감속기 설계

Abstract

본 논문은 풍력발전기용 요 감속기를 경량화하여 유한요소해석과 위험속도해석을 통해 안정성검증을 하였다. 제품의 경량화는 엔진의 효율을 높일 수 있으며, 부품의 소재를 절약하여 경제적 이득을 취할 수 있다. IEC 61400-1에서 제시한 풍력발전기 부품의 안전율 1.3이상을 목표로 풍력발전기용 요 감속기를 경량화하였다. 위상최적화를 수행한 캐리어를 유한요소해석을 수행하여 안전율을 나타냈고, 하우징과 최적화한 캐리어를 MASTA11을 활용하여 작성한 풍력발전용 요 감속기 기어트레인 모델과 부분구조합성법으로 연결하여 고유 모드와 고유진동수를 파악하여 질량불평형과 치통과 주파수에 대하여 위험속도해석을 수행하였고, 캠벨 선도(Campbell Diagram)를 작성하여 안정성 검증을 하였다.

In this paper, the weight reduction design of the yaw gearbox for wind turbine was performed through the finite element analysis method, and the stability was checked by performing the critical speed analysis. The weight reduction product can improve engine efficiency, save parts materials, and earn economic benefits. The yaw gearbox is lightweighted with the goal of achieving a safety rate of 1.3 or higher for wind turbine as indicated by IEC61400-1. In order to reduce the weight of the carrier, a topology optimization method was performed. The safety factor was verified by performing finite element analysis on the carrier. In addition, the housing and carrier were modeled using the finite element method, and the gear train was modeled using MASTA. For the yaw gearbox, the housing and carrier FE model and the gear train model were connected by the partial structural synthesis method to perform the rotational vibration analysis. Vibration excitation sources are mass unbalance and gear mesh frrequemcy, and as a result of the critical speed analysis, it was found that there was no resonance within the operating speed range.
