Abstract
Wind is an abundant renewable energy source. One form of utilizing wind
energy is by using wind turbines. However, components in wind turbines are often
damaged, and one of the most-frequently damaged components is bearing. The
role of bearing is very important in maintaining the performance of the entire
engine. Damaged bearings will have an impact on the performance of the
windmill. Broken bearing detection research has been carried out on rotary
machines, while the detection of damaged bearings in windmill is still minimally
conducted. Therefore, this study is aimed at detecting early bearing damage in
windmill using vibration analysis by applying the frequency spectrum feature and
envelope analysis.
This research used a bearing in normal condition and multi-fault bearings
that were intentionally damaged with a size of 2 mm deep bearing and damaged
at a 0.7 mm wide bearing. Multi-faults were damaged in the outer trajectory and
the inner trajectory simultaneously and the detection of broken bearings was
carried out using spectrum envelope analysis. The Measurements were carried
out using a motor drive as a wind simulation with a shaft speed of 1200 RPM. The
bearings used in this research were Self Aligning Double Row, TAM Brand, and
1208K series.
The frequency spectrum does not show damaged frequency amplitude on the
bearing, but there is high frequency amplitude of the shaft rotating speed. The
frequency spectrum on the damaged bearing shows a broken frequency of the
bearing of the outer trajectory and the inner trajectory followed by 1X to 3X
harmonics. However, the damaged frequency of bearing amplitude is still low and
covered by the frequency of other components. The envelope method can extract
the impact with very low energy and give rise to damaged frequency amplitude on
the bearing. Thus, the identification of damaged bearings will be very clear with
the emergence of frequencies from broken bearings in the outer and inner tracks
followed by 1X to 3X harmonics.
