Project

Wind energy generation systems - Part 4-1: Reliability assessment of drivetrain components in wind turbines

Abstract

This document establishes a method to calculate the design reliability of wind turbines gearboxes covered by IEC 61400-4 based upon failure modes where standardized calculation methods are publicly available. A minimum value of design reliability is not specified. The method does not consider the cost of replacement, which means that higher reliability is not always the best choice from a cost perspective.
