A gearbox is used
in a wind turbine to increase the rotational speed from a low-speed rotor to a
higher speed electrical generator. The gearbox in the wind turbine does not
change gears; it has a single gear ratio between the rotation of the rotor and
the generator. The main purpose of using a gearbox in a wind turbine is to
increase the efficiency, as different parts of the turbine need to run at
different speeds in order to produce optimum levels of electrical energy.Analysts
forecast the Global Wind Turbine
Gearbox market
will grow at a CAGR of 7.1 percent over the period 2013-2018.
