Wind turbines - Part 4: Design requirements for wind turbine gearboxes

IEC 61400-4:2012(E) is applicable to enclosed speed increasing gearboxes for horizontal axis wind turbine drivetrains with a power rating in excess of 500 kW. This standard applies to wind turbines installed onshore or offshore. It Standard provides guidance on the analysis of the wind turbine loads in relation to the design of the gear and gearbox elements. The gearing elements covered by this standard include such gears as spur, helical or double helical and their combinations in parallel and epicyclic arrangements in the main power path. The standard is based on gearbox designs using rolling element bearings. Also included is guidance on the engineering of shafts, shaft hub interfaces, bearings and the gear case structure in the development of a fully integrated design that meets the rigours of the operating conditions. Lubrication of the transmission is covered along with prototype and production testing. Finally, guidance is provided on the operation and maintenance of the gearbox.

Eoliennes - Partie 4: Exigences de conception des boîtes de vitesses pour éoliennes

IEC 61400-4:2012 s'applique aux boîtes de vitesses sous carter pour trains d'entraînement d'éolienne à axe horizontal dont la puissance nominale dépasse 500 kW. Elle s'applique aux éoliennes installés sur terre et en mer. La présente Norme internationale donne des recommandations sur l'analyse des charges d'éolienne en tenant compte de la conception des éléments d'engrenage et de boîte de vitesses. Les éléments d'engrènement couverts par cette norme comprennent les engrenages à dentures droite, hélicoïdale simple ou double et leurs combinaisons dans des configurations parallèles et épicycloïdales dans le trajet de puissance principal. Cette norme ne s'applique pas aux engrenages de prise de force (PTO). Elle repose sur les conceptions de boîte de vitesses utilisant des roulements à éléments roulants. Des roulements simples peuvent être utilisés dans le cadre de cette norme, mais leur utilisation et leur étalonnage ne sont pas traités. Cette norme inclut également des recommandations relatives à l'ingénierie des arbres, des interfaces de moyeu d'arbre, des roulements et de la structure du carter des engrenages durant le développement d'une conception entièrement intégrée satisfaisant à des conditions de fonctionnement rigoureuses. La lubrification de la transmission est abordée ainsi que le prototype et les essais de production. Enfin, des recommandations sur l'exploitation et la maintenance de la boîte de vitesses sont données.

Vetrne turbine - 4. del: Konstrukcijske zahteve za menjalnike vetrnih turbin

Ta del skupine standardov IEC 61400 se uporablja za zaprte menjalnike, ki povečujejo hitrost, za prenosnike moči na vodoravni osi za vetrne turbine z nazivno močjo, ki je večja od 500 kW. Ta standard velja za vetrne turbine, ki so nameščene na obali ali na morju. Ta mednarodni standard podaja navodila za analizo obremenitev vetrnih turbin glede na izdelavo sklopk in elementov menjalnikov. Elementi gonil v tem standardu vključujejo ravne, vijačne ali dvojne vijačne zobnike in njihove kombinacije v vzporednih in epicikličnih razporeditvah v glavni poti napajanja. Ta standard ne velja za sklopke za prenos moči (PTO). Ta standard je osnovan na menjalnikih, ki so izdelani z ležaji z vrtečimi deli. V skladu s tem standardom je dovoljena uporaba navadnih ležajev, vendar ta standard ne vključuje njihove uporabe in ocenjevanja. Vključene so tudi smernice za projektiranje jaškov, vmesnikov pesta jaška, ležajev in konstrukcijo škatle za sklopke. Te smernice se uporabljajo za razvoj integrirane zasnove, ki izpolnjuje stroge pogoje delovanja. Skupaj s preskušanjem prototipov in izdelovanja ta standard vključuje tudi mazanje menjalnika. Prav tako podaja smernice za delovanje in vzdrževanje menjalnikov.
