As the demand for wind power has been growing consistently over the years, efforts have been made to accelerate technological developments to keep pace with this growth. Wind turbine power capacities have increased by a factor of 120, from 25 kW to 3,000 kW and beyond, in the past 20 years, with their blades, rotor and hub heights increasing in size accordingly. Most commercially available and widely used turbines across the world today are taller than 100 metres, with their rotors having diameters of more than 120 metres. Thus, the drivetrain, the powerhouse of a wind turbine, has also evolved to suit the increase in size and rated power capacity of wind turbines. Drivetrain design has been constantly upgraded for greater efficiencies in cost as well as performance. Since the drivetrain is one of the most complex components of a wind turbine with a large number of moving parts, it is quite prone to breakdowns and faults. Thus, much of the advancements in drivetrains are focused on having fewer moving parts and weight reduction to have more compact, lighter and simpler systems.
