N2 - Wind turbine drive trains consist of mechanical components such as the gearbox, the bearings and the rotating shaft; and an electrical component, the electric generator. These components are electromagnetically and electromechanically coupled with each other and have continuously rotating parts, making them more susceptible to faults. Unfortunately, these components are individually modeled while performing finite element analysis, and the coupling effects are neglected, yielding approximations that are not acceptable for, e.g., modal analysis. This paper addresses that problem and presents the model of complete wind turbine drive train subsystem for finite element analysis. The proposed model takes a novel, one-of-a-kind approach design to analyze the drive train subsystem of a wind turbine in a holistic manner.
