MethodologyProblem: Avoid failure of braking mechanisms in wind turbine in hurricane conditions1. ObjectivesThe study aims to analyze the structural effects and operational characteristics of wind turbines during hurricane conditions, where the wind speed could vary between 50 and 58 m/s for a category 3 hurricane [1]. A detailed study of the operation of high-speed wind turbines will be carried out from the available literature, more specifically, the braking systems employed in the wind turbine nacelle and their susceptibility to fires and mechanical failures. Data available from knowledge repositories such as the QUT library and IEEE Xplore will be used to obtain qualitative data such as pyrolysis tests, mechanical gearbox specifications and failure modes. Below are specific objectives that help us reach a conclusion:1. Current practices in wind turbine braking2. Accumulate data on available braking technologies that can be used for offshore operations43. Determine the durability of wind speed and position sensors on the wind turbine during abnormally high wind speeds and methods to address issues such as icing or data resolution.4. Establish the effects of high wind speeds on pitch and yaw control5. Compare motorized blade pitch control with hydraulic pitch control for high wind speeds6. The need for cooling systems during high-speed operation7. Contribution of the gearbox in braking/slowing down the rotations per minute8. Feasibility of Bladed software in simulating operational characteristics.9. Lubrication required for high speed operation2. Data needs1. Costs associated with periodic maintenance of the wind farm2. Identify failure modes of each assembly3. Normal operating conditions of pitch and yaw... at the center of the card... could increase power transmission capability by up to 40%[5].5.
