Abstract :
In this paper, A generator of existing vertical type wind turbine system is connected to bevel gear. But, the generator of proposed offshore wind turbine system is connected to Hydraulic torque converter. In case of the proposed offshore wind turbine system, is possible to make torque transmission long distance, set up generator somewhere in between the tower or the ground as well as, nacelle weight can be greatly down. Lightweight of nacelle exactly wind direction tracking can be easily also, cost down of established frame structure and generator setting, In case of offshore wind turbine system has a large of problem of humidity. The Hydraulic torque converter system can be good property in the offshore wind turbine system. And it´s easy to maintenance and improvement of system stability.
