3:30 PM Evolution of mainshaft bearing solutions in multi-MW turbines

• The trend of installing wind turbines that are larger and more powerful continues, the size and power production of turbines increase as do main shaft bearing performance challenges

• Turbines blades increasing in length generate more loads than ever on the main shaft bearings, making the proper design and selection of these bearings even more critical

• Historical look at all the main shaft bearing configurations currently in use today for both direct drive and gearbox driven turbines

• What are the best concepts for bearing design, advantages and disadvantages of each

• Widespread two single row tapered roller bearing mounting and the rationale behind that design configuration for larger turbines

8:00 AM Bearing main shaft design concepts to best satisfy the new requirements

Bearing design involves a significant number of often conflicting parameters, with improvement in one feature resulting in deterioration in another. With continuously growing size of wind turbines and blades, the requirements for bearing design have changed and bearing design concepts have to be reviewed. What are the major challenges in bearing design for bigger wind turbines and what are the appropriate main shaft bearing design concepts to meet the new requirements?

• Historical look at all the main shaft configurations in use today

• Direct drive and gearbox driven turbines – Advantages and disadvantages of different bearing configurations

• Trend towards widespread two single row tapered roller bearing

• Rationale behind this design configuration for larger turbines
