what is the proper method for removing and installing a gearbox in a wind turbine?

i have been set a task by my college tutor to research the proper method of removing and re-installing the gearbox in a Vestas V27 wind turbine…

if nobody can provide me with a method how about a few useful links?

it doesnt have to be specific to a vestas machine as i’m sure that the method for removing the part is roughly the same for all turbines.

thank you in advance

How to make a wind turbine?

I have a blade from a broken fan ( the motor broke so the blade is fine ) and wanted to know if anyone had plans on how to make a power generating wind turbine. I know not a powerful one but one to experiment with.

whats wrong if someones makes money through alternative energy?

I know it sounds like a quick way to make money when they scare us with global warming, but who even wants to work on an oil rig out on the open sea? I rather have a job in the city. what about all the coal miners that die for our electricity? how many die during installations of wind turbines and solar panels? at least you can survive the fall, not many survive when methane pockets explode and mines cave in.

Is there any other pros to wind energy other then them producing energy?

Is there any other things that wind turbines do that are good, other then produce energy? for example jobs? Any others….
Thanks : )

Wind Turbine Question only for experts or Engineers?

Will running a homemade wind turbine without a load hurt it?

I’m in the process of building my first wind turbine and was curious if running it without a load (ie. battery bank) would be harmful to the generators? I’m using a 260VDC 5A permanent magnet treadmill motor as the generator. I’m about ready to put up my tower and wasn’t sure if I can go ahead and get it all assembled and put up and then add the battery bank as soon as I can get the batteries. This way I could also see how well it’s going to perform on the tower. It’s a 60′ lattice tower and will be hinged at the bottom but still will be a bit of a pain to lower and raise a lot. I’m really excited about getting this up and running but don’t want to damage anything before I even get started.

Also I’ve heard of people using old electric baseboard heaters as a load dump when the bank gets fully charged. I’m having some trouble locating any of these around here and was wondering if anyone would have any other suggestions on something I could use as a dump? Thanks for all your time.

How do Wind Turbines convert wind into energy?

I am doing a project for school (its not for a class but its for a teacher me and my friends hang with at lunch) and it has to do with renewable energy. and I need to know how wind turbines convert wind into usable energy.

also if you can tell me how they convert the tides’ and suns’ natural energy into energy used for everyday appliances like lightbulbs and machines.

thanks in advance!
thanks for all the great answers!!!

im 20. wind turbine technician. make about 42k a year. thinking about joining the army nat guard as a infantryman to bring some more money in. i want to put my gf through school so she can be a vet tech. if we decide to have a kid i want to know if i can support them on this salary.

Whats a better job, wind power technician or solar? more pay etc?

I was thinking about getting a certificate in renewable energy. . I was wondering if I should focus on wind or solar. Which one has a better future and pays more? Also is installing/maintaining a wind turbine harder to learn then solar? maybe I can learn both but focus on the harder of the two for my classes and learn the other one on my own. If anyone has some insight or has done these things id like to know what they think

What are the basic element in wind energy conversion device?

I have to build a wind energy conversion device for my design subject. However, I can’t use toothed gears, gearboxes, energy storage systems (e.g. flywheels, batteries, pressurised fluids, etc), rolling
element bearings and existing (pre-made) fan impellers.

So I need rough ideas on what are the things that can replace those items which can make the device moving.

i want sensor for sensing the wind direction and wind velocity and converts in to an electric signal?

i am karthick final year B.E student. i have to do project in wind turbine generator. my project is mainly concerned to “the wind turbine generator senses the greater wind direction and turn that side then the vanes are rotated(i.e YAW SYSTEM). now i have so many doubts sir. that is which sensor is used to sense the wind direction and turn and converts in to to electric signal. Because we have planned to control our project in PLC& SCADA.

Is it possible to construct a $100 wind turbine and from it obtain the equivalant of one gallon gasoline?

I was discussing with an adversary of mine the possibility of this. I think it is possible over a period of time for a small wind generator to produce the same amount of energy that a gallon of gas will produce.
I saw a homemade wind turbine done with 50 gallon drums on Youtube. It was very practical and easy to build. My question is. What is the length of time that it would take to generate the same amount of energy from a gallon of gasoline?

If nuclear power were to become the only way to produce energy profitably, would you support nuclear energy?

Let’s say there was no other source of energy and instead we had to rely on nuclear power for everything. Cars, homes, electricity, it all had to be powered by nuclear energy. Do you think it would be a good idea to have thousands of nuclear power plants all around the world?

Please list all the small windpower manufacturers you know of.?

Eco-friendly careers in colorado?

I’m currently in high school, and wondering what i want to do when i go off to college.
I was thinking about a career in the fields of renewable energy and “green” jobs, as in doing my part for the planet. I’ve been searching all over the internet for careers i could go for, but all i could find is careers in engineering, such as building wind turbines and solar panels and such, which i do not want to do. Are there any career opportunities in Colorado that are related to “green” jobs that do not lean into building and fixing stuff? Like really cool organizations i can look into? If so i would greatly appreciate the link and name. thank you so much!

For tropical countries around the world,would be possible to generate electricity by using solar power?

Actually it’s not the question I want to ask, I know it’s possible, I’m using this to propose my idea on how to generate steam instead of hot water, using solar powered cells, and then using the steam in turbines to generate electricity for all countries, that could be enough for all Europe on a large scale. Is anyone interested?

I know that trig is use mainly by surveyors, navigators, map makers,etc.
But how can a person like me, who is not a scientist nor professional mathematician to use trigonometry in everyday lives?Please give me some examples of problems where can I use it.(for example in home)
And please explain the solutions.
I just want to know because I found trigonometry to be hard if I didn’t know how to apply it.

Is it possible to put electricity back in the grid via a wall socket?

Can you, in theory, take an energy source ie batteries etc and plug them into a wall socket without doing any damage to your own home? Would this lower your electric bill? I know batteries would cost money and would not be worth it, but in theory, would it work? And if you had a fluctuating power source (pretend you somehow wired your alternator in your car into the wall) how could you stop it from putting too much electricity back and damaging something?
