Abstract:
A drivetrain for a wind turbine is provided. The drivetrain may include a first stage speed increaser adapted for low speed operations, and a second stage speed increaser adapted for moderate and high speed operations. The first stage speed increaser may include at least one drive wheel being rotatably driven by a main shaft of the wind turbine and at least one driven wheel in frictional communication with the drive wheel. The second stage speed increaser may include a gearbox coupled to each driven wheel and a generator coupled to each gearbox.
