Research problems linked to this topic
- With the ever-growing concern about green and clean energy, one of the most viable options is wind power.
- The surface of wind turbine blades are prone to degradation due to exposure to the elements.
- Increasing the power efficiency of rotating energy systems such as wind turbines and gas turbine rotors is critical to deriving more energy from wind or fossil fuels.
- Gears and other mechanical assemblies are some of the key components for conversion of wind energy to electrical energy in wind turbines, but their durability and efficiency are severely impaired by some tribological issues like micro-pitting, wear, scuffing, and spalling.
- Wind-induced conductor motion such as Aeolian vibration and subspan oscillation of bundled conductors can lead to reduced lifespan and need for excessive maintenance of overhead lines if left unaddressed.
