The increasing call for the use of renewable energy in allindustrial countries demands for the extension of wind powergeneration capacity. In central Europe as in parts of the Americasand Asia, such further expansion is only possible by re-powering-replacement of existing turbines by higher rated ones- or bydeveloping locations in the open sea – offshore. To this end, thegear industry world wide is challenged to develop and supply therequired No. of reliable 5 MW class wind turbine gears.
The paper summarizes the concept evaluation and design of the5MW Multibrid wind turbine transmission arrangement, test bedmeasurements with the prototype as well as field experience over atest period of 3 years.
