With the increasing attention to environmental issues globally, wind power generation is becoming more popular as a clean energy source in the energy industry, among which forged special-shaped parts are one of the necessary components in realizing wind power generation.
Forged special-shaped parts are widely used in wind turbines gearboxes, nacelles, bridges, and hydraulic components, etc., mainly to improve equipment efficiency and reduce mechanical failure rates. The following introduces the role and application of forged special-shaped parts in the field of wind power generation.
In wind turbine gearboxes, forged special-shaped parts as one of the internal components of gearboxes perform various functions such as power transmission, deceleration, support, and sealing. In vertical-axis wind turbines, such as Darrieus or upright ones, forged special-shaped parts play a supporting role for rotating blades. In horizontal-axis wind turbines, their tops are usually equipped with large projected area forged special-shaped parts, which support the high-speed rotating blades.
In the nacelle part of the wind turbine, forged special-shaped parts are widely used to support the gearbox and generator. The gearbox support components are usually made of forged special-shaped parts. For the direct-drive wind generator unit, forged special-shaped parts are usually used to connect the rotating shaft and fixed magnet rotor.
In terms of hydraulic components, forged special-shaped parts play multiple functions such as connection, bearing, and sealing in hydraulic devices. For example, in hydraulic pumps, forged special-shaped parts are mostly used to connect diaphragms of hydraulic pumps. In hydraulic motors, forged special-shaped parts are used to bear the rotational torque of hydraulic motors and perform hydraulic sealing, etc.
In conclusion, with the continuous development and improvement of wind power generation technology, forged special-shaped parts as an indispensable part have been widely used in wind turbine gearboxes, nacelles, and hydraulic components. Their superior physical properties and functions not only ensure the normal operation of equipment but also improve wind power generation efficiency and stability, and will play an increasingly important role in the future clean energy markets.
