Optimal design of wind turbine's main shaft based on response-surface analysis
Since the high MW wind turbine with heavy weight is likely to cause hidden danger and failure,this article focu-ses on the wind turbine's spindle;the parametric modeling is carried out to set up the related.finite-element model;the analysis is conducted on the spindle's strength and stiffness according to the limited working condition.Based on the Spearman-Rank cor-relation coefficient,the DOE experimental design is carried out to obtain the sensitivity map between the spindle's size parame-ters,and five parameters of structural size that have a great impact on the spindle's performance are identified.At last,the re-sponse-surface analysis is conducted on the five parameters of structural size;with the help of the MOGA algorithm,and the best optimization scheme is worked out.The results show that compared with the original model,the optimized model reduces the spin-dle system's weight by 6.28%,and the spindle's strength and stiffness meet the design requirements,which provides theoretical support and reference for the optimization design of the wind turbine's spindle in the future.
