Abstract

This research focuses on optimizing gearless wind power conversion systems to reduce mechanical losses and increase overall reliability. Gearless systems offer substantial advantages over standard geared turbines, such as fewer maintenance requirements and higher efficiency. However, mechanical losses and reliability concerns still represent significant impediments to their wider deployment. This work analyzes sophisticated optimization techniques and design improvements aimed at lowering mechanical losses in essential components. Additionally, it studies strategies to boost system stability, ensuring consistent and long- term performance. Through a combination of analytical modelling, simulations, and experimental validation, the research indicates the potential for considerable increases in energy efficiency and system durability. The findings contribute to the development of more robust and efficient wind power systems, coinciding with worldwide goals to expand renewable energy usage and reduce dependency on fossil fuels.
