Client: ZF Wind Power, whose product portfolio covers the complete wind turbine market, and who currently have more than 143GW assets installed onshore and over 7GW installed offshore. Challenge: Developing power-dense, lightweight wind turbine drivetrains whilst minimising transmission error in order to avoid tonal powertrain noise. Solution: Using Romax Enduro to create simulation models of the drivetrain including gear mesh simulations and measurements to optimise gear loading and transmission error. Benefits: Reducing the cost of energy through increasing the power density and durability of wind turbine drivetrains; adopting a simulation-led development process to design drivetrains with low risk of transmission noise. |
