Assessing the Potential of a Mechanical Continuously Variable Transmission for Wind Turbines

Research output: Contribution to conferencePaper

Abstract

This paper provides an update to a previous report that summarizes the results of a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) between the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Fallbrook Technologies, Inc. (Fallbrook). The purpose of the CRADA is to assess the usefulness of a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for wind turbine applications.
