초록

This paper suggests an effective state index that represents a quantitative value for damage in order to predict the life of a bearing for a wind turbine. Two fault modes, lubrication failure and rolling element failure, are artificially made in the laboratory. Then, several degradation tests including the measurement of vibration, temperature and torque are performed under both a constant loading condition and stepwise variable loading condition. With the analysis of the measured vibration under the constant loading condition, the root mean square (RMS) value and a vibration component of bearing fault frequency are chosen as good indicators for the prediction of life. Finally, a state index is proposed by the weighted combination of vibration, temperature and torque. The proposed state index is monotonic, increasing as time goes by under the stepwise variable loading condition as well as constant loading condition. Because the monotonicity is a good characteristic to predict the life of bearings in the machine parts of a wind turbine, it is expected that the proposed state index will be helpful for the prediction of the life of bearings.
