Abstract: The present subject matter relates to a gearbox system for a wind turbine. The gearbox may have a gearbox housing defining an inner gearbox volume. The gearbox system further comprises at least one reservoir for storing lubricant and a lubricant provision arrangement. In addition, a lubricant return arrangement is provided. Thus, the gearbox system comprises a lubrication cycle, in particular a closed lubrication cycle, wherein lubricant is provided from the reservoir through the lubricant provision arrangement to lubrication locations of the gearbox, and is subsequently returned to the reservoir passing through the lubricant return arrangement. Furthermore, the gearbox system includes an aeration arrangement which is connected to the gearbox volume and which has specifically configured restriction means. In order to obtain a beneficial operational behavior of the gearbox system, the gearbox system, in particular the reservoir, the pump, the lubricant provision arrangement and/or the aeration arrangement, is/are configured such that a lubricant flow, having an appropriate pressure and flow rate, is provided from the reservoir to each lubrication location, when the pump is operative; further, the gearbox volume gets flooded with lubricant from the reservoir, when the pump is or becomes inoperative.

Abstract: A bearing assembly for a drivetrain of a wind turbine includes at least one shaft having a circumferential outer surface. The bearing assembly also includes a bearing housing arranged circumferentially around the circumferential outer surface of the shaft. The bearing housing having at least deformation such that the bearing housing and the shaft have a corresponding deformation around a toroidal axis such that interfacing surfaces of the bearing housing and the shaft flex together and remain parallel during operation of the drivetrain, thereby distributing operational loads of the drivetrain. The bearing assembly further includes a bearing housed at least partially within the bearing housing and engaging the circumferential outer surface of the shaft.

Abstract: A carrier and at least one pin shaft of a gearbox of a wind turbine and method of manufacturing same includes forming the carrier and the pin shaft(s) as a single part or separate components. Further, the method includes forming one or more voids in the pin shaft(s) and/or the carrier via additive manufacturing. As such, the void(s) is configured to increase flexibility of the pin shaft(s)/carrier so as to improve a load distribution thereof.

Abstract: A method for installing a plurality of rotor blades to a rotatable hub secured atop a tower of a wind turbine includes providing a counterweight assembly having, at least, a mounting assembly and a counterweight mass secured at a distal end of the mounting assembly. The method also includes securing the mounting assembly at a first position on the hub of the wind turbine such that the counterweight mass biases the hub to rotate about its rotation axis in a first direction. Further, the method includes consecutively installing the plurality of rotor blades onto the hub of the wind turbine. Moreover, the method includes adjusting a position of the counterweight mass between each consecutive installation of the plurality of rotor blades to continuously change a center of gravity of the hub and maintain a balanced rotor of the wind turbine during installation of the plurality of rotor blades.
