Abstract:PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to optimize the maintenance strategies for wind turbine (WT) gearboxes to minimize costs associated with PM actions, cooling, production loss and gearbox replacement. Two approaches, periodic imperfect maintenance and a novel design incorporating alternating gearboxes are compared to identify the most cost-effective solution.Design/methodology/approachThis study employs mathematical modeling to analyze the design, operation and maintenance of WT gearboxes. Two maintenance st… Show more
