The concept shown in Figure 2.7 is well known and can be easily up-scaled with more or less “off the shelf” components. However, the low speed stage of the gearbox is a “wind turbine specific” item. For wind turbines less than or equal to about 2.1MW (e.g. Suzlon S88), one planetary stage and two parallel stages are being used; for larger turbines, two planetary stages in combination with one parallel stage are being used. The main advantage of this concept is the fact that the bending moments are not transferred to the gearbox. Moreover, the modular design is an advantage with respect to maintainability and offshore applications.
