Abstract
In this paper, an analysis of the joint that transmits power from the blades to the generator is performed using the FEM (finite element method). The mode shapes and natural frequencies were extracted using experimental modal analysis in order to establish the FEM model. Then, the model was verified by comparing the mode shapes and natural frequencies to those obtained from the ANSYS modal analysis. Dynamic stress analysis was performed at the rated and limited wind speeds considering the wind load and gravity.
