ZF Wind Power had the challenge to develop power-dense, lightweight wind turbine drivetrains whilst minimising transmission error in order to avoid tonal powertrain noise. Discover how the use of Romax Enduro allowed the adoption of a simulation-led development process to design drivetrains with low risk of transmission noise.
Using Romax Enduro in a Simulation-led Design Process Verified by Physical Correlation
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.
