Load Analysis of pitch bearing considering non-quenching zone

The pitch bearing of the MW-class wind turbine has a weak zone which is not quenched. In the complicated service environment of the wind turbine, the pitch bearing often has breakage accidents in the non-quenching zone. Firstly, this paper takes the pitch bearing as the object and establishes the pitch bearing model with weak zone. Subsequently, the load variation law of the pitch bearing considering non-quenching is analyzed in the four extreme conditions. Finally, the feasibility of the model is proved by comparing the simulation data with the data obtained from the theoretical formula.
