What bearings should be installed in wind turbine generators
Most wind turbine designers choose four-point contact ball bearings for their ability to handle these heavy forces while offering long-term durability. . This paper presents a review of existing theory and practice relating to main bearings for wind tur-bines. The main bearing performs the critical role of supporting the turbine rotor, with replacements typically requiring its complete removal. Bearings are what allow two mechanical parts to move smoothly and freely. . This report is available at no cost from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) at www. Stammler, Matthias, Oliver Menck, Yi Guo, and Jon Keller. Wind Turbine Design Guideline DG03: Yaw and Pitch Bearings.

Lightning protection tips for wind turbine generators
This article introduces a new approach for lightning protection systems for wind turbine blades, focusing on the importance of installing an earth-termination system to protect the wind turbine against lightning strikes and to earth the power supply system. Wind turbines are tall structures that are often located in open areas, making them susceptible to lightning strikes. Lightning can cause. . Lightning damage that previously caused catastrophic failures can be prevented with inexpensive upgrades and real-time monitoring. The transformation begins with visibility. The feed-in compensation must amortise the high investment costs within a few years, meaning that down-time caused by lightning and surge damage and the. . from a renewable energy source to the public power networks.
