Principle, structure and application of advanced hydrodynamic converted variable speed planetary gear (Vorecon and Windrive) for industrial drive and wind power transmission

摘要

This paper first breifly introduces the principle, structure and applications of two kinds advanced hydrodynamic converted variable speed planetary gears (Vorecon and WinDrive). Secondly the control concept and power characteristics of wind rotor and power generation will be discussed. Finally the concluding remarks stresses the trend of giving priority to them due to high reliability and easy maintenance.
