Abstract
A method for determining the evolution of torque of at least one rotatable shaft and the resulting fatigue damage to different power train components is provided for design and/or maintenance operations in a wind turbine that comprises the steps of determining torque (Tg) at a high speed shaft of the power train; determining moment of inertia (Ig) at the high speed shaft; determining angular acceleration (αg) at the high speed shaft; and determining torque (Tr) at the low speed shaft of the power train through the formula Tr=(Tg−Ig αg)·i. A rainflow-counting algorithm may be applied to the value of the torque (Tr) at the low speed shaft for determining the number of cycles at ranges of torque for every torque mean value.
