6 FAQs about [Cooling systems in wind power generation]

How wind turbine cooling system works?

As previously described enough wasted heat produce in wind turbine especially in MW turbine. In this study, a conceptual design of a new wind turbine cooling system is proposed. In this system, the heat which is generated by wind turbine using a coolant comes to ORC cycle and gives the heat into the refrigerant.

Do wind turbines need a water cooling system?

Key components in wind turbines, such as gearboxes, generators, converters and power packs, become less effective as they heat up during use. So keeping them at the right temperature is crucial if you want to get the best performance out of your wind turbine. Water cooling systems are pressurised and require a sealed expansion tank.

How to cool a wind turbine?

Through the years challenges of cooling systems for wind turbine caused the new cooling systems. A simple way to cooling the turbine is using the small part of inlet air to the nacelle and filling the needed part and finally exhausting the air from nacelle . These days in MW wind turbines use oil or water for cooling.

Why do wind turbines need a cooler?

Key components in your wind turbines become less effective as they heat up during use. Keeping your gearboxes, generators, converters and power packs at the right temperature is crucial if you want to get the best performance out of your wind turbine. We design, manufactire and test the coolers at our facility.

Which heat source is used as coolant for wind turbine cooling system?

As a first study and based on previous studies for ORC heat source which comes from wind turbine cooling system 80 °C temperature is selected as minimum. Table 1 shows the simulation condition and results. The Water is used as coolant in this simulation.

Can a 750 kW wind turbine be cooled?

As to large- and medium-scale wind generating set with power more than 750 kW, a liquid recirculation cooling method can be implemented to satisfy the cooling requirement . Regarding MW wind turbine with a larger power capacity, the gearbox, generator and control converter all produce comparatively large amount of heat .
