“…The high number of load cycles and operating ranges during the life cycle of the wind turbine makes the fatigue conditions be the most important issue. One of the components of the wind turbine that is subject to bending and torsion loads is the shaft [5].…”

“…Moreover, reduced CO2 Emissions and energy consumption for cast components are reached due to its lower smelting temperature [4]. Despite all the advantages of cast iron, mostly forged main shafts are used in wind turbines [5,6], because the mechanical properties of forged steel materials are higher than those of nodular cast iron [7].…”

“…The rapidly changing speed induces the fatigue load and in turn causes failure of components. 14 The said fluctuations can be reduced by installing energy-storing devices like flywheels or hydraulic accumulators. Due to high cycle life, high power density, low cost, and simple design of the flywheel, it is widely used in industrial drives.…”
