A solution to reduce overheating and increase wind turbine systems availability

Abstract: The ever-increasing demand for electrical power and the tremendous growth of renewable energy sources in the past decade has led designers to design wind turbine system components for optimal performance. Cost optimization, weight reduction, higher performances, and lower non-conformance cost are a few expectations that components are expected to meet in the present market condition. Wind turbine system unavailability impacts the annual energy production of the wind turbine. Overheating of the wind turbine sys… Show more

“…One of the failure analyses of bearing in a wind turbine has been presented by Sankar et al (2012). Singh et al (2018, 2019a, 2019b, 2019c, 2019d, 2020) and Singh and Sundaram (2020) performed similar studies on the impact of heat, improper filtration, and converter on winding and bearing of electrical generator. Manufacturing deformation leading winding and bearing issues have been presented in detail by Singh and Sundaram (2020).…”

“…For the better performance of the overall system, issues associated with overheating should be avoided. One such study to reduce overheating is presented by Singh et al (2018, 2020), where to overcome the overheating challenges the heat exchanger in the air-to-air cooled generator system is replaced with open-air cooled system. Achieved results presented the advantage of an average of 40°C in winding and 30°C in bearing temperature.…”

“…In the study of wind generator, Singh et al (2020) have addressed the problems associated with high operating temperatures of windings and bearings of the generators and have proposed design solutions for the same. Cooling configurations based on stipulated IEC/IEEE standards have also been discussed (Singh et al, 2020). Certain beneficial recommendations have been offered to enable the functioning of the generators within the safe operating temperature.…”
