Development of a 5 MW reference gearbox for offshore wind turbines

Abstract This paper presents detailed descriptions, modeling parameters and technical data of a 5MW high‐speed gearbox developed for the National Renewable Energy Laboratory offshore 5MW baseline wind turbine. The main aim of this paper is to support the concept studies and research for large offshore wind turbines by providing a baseline gearbox model with detailed modeling parameters. This baseline gearbox follows the most conventional design …
