The drivetrain of a wind turbine is composed of the gearbox and the generator, the necessary components that a turbine needs to produce electricity. The gearbox is responsible for connecting the low-speed shaft attached to the turbine blades to the high-speed shaft attached to the. . This paper presents the state-of-the-art technologies and development trends of wind turbine driv-etrains – the system that converts kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy – in different stages of their life cycle: design, manufacturing, installation, operation, lifetime extension. . The U. Department of Energy (DOE) supports advanced manufacturing techniques that are leading to the "next-generation" of more reliable, affordable, and efficient wind turbine drivetrains. As turbines continue to increase in size, each and every component must also be scaled to meet the demands. . Over the past 20 years, wind turbine manufacturers have experimented with various drivetrain architectures, evolving their designs based on technological progress and operational insights. The paper proposes a high efficient MB system concept design process. One of the most critical systems within that setup is the drivetrain—responsible for transferring mechanical power from the rotor to the generator.
