Abstract
With the significant penetration of wind generation, wind turbines require higher and higher lubrication performance for bearings. To improve the lubrication performance of wind power bearings, this study takes wind power bearings as the research object and comprehensively analyzes the wear forms of wind power bearings as well as intelligent lubrication methods. Firstly, the main roles and wear forms of wind turbine bearings are sorted out and analyzed. Secondly, the common lubrication problems of wind power bearings are analyzed from the bearing grease selection, lubrication mode, and lubrication status, highlighting the important influence of lubrication on bearings. Thirdly, the wind turbine bearing wisdom lubrication method research and organization, mainly including the wind power generation bearing lubrication materials, lubrication devices and monitoring methods, and other issues of research and analysis. Finally, current challenges and future development directions are summarized, which are designed to provide theoretical reference and technical support for the related research and engineering practice in the field of wind power engineering.
