This playbook focuses on wind turbine gearbox operations and maintenance as part of the global transition to sustainable energy. Wind turbine gearboxes are critical components that convert wind energy to electricity, operating under extreme conditions including harsh temperatures, high wind forces, and continuous rotation.
The document covers the wind turbine drivetrain ecosystem, monitoring systems, and maintenance practices, with particular emphasis on gearbox intricacies. Understanding these systems is essential for maximizing energy production, extending equipment life, and reducing downtime.
Developed by the American Clean Power Association’s Drivetrain Working Group, the playbook provides practical guidance for daily gearbox operations, including common troubleshooting scenarios and solutions. The working group draws on decades of expertise from wind and other industries to help technicians, engineers, and managers improve wind project reliability and performance.
