Torsional vibration refers to the oscillatory twisting motion that occurs in the drivetrain of a wind turbine, typically between the rotor and the generator. This vibration can be caused by a variety of factors, including wind turbulence, gearbox dynamics, and generator. . However, the efficiency and reliability of wind turbines can be significantly impacted by torsional vibration, a phenomenon that can lead to reduced performance, increased wear and tear, and even catastrophic failures. However, this process often leads to sharp fluctuations in active power and electromagnetic torque, which inevitably induces torsional. . Wind turbines, the primary technology for harnessing this energy, are designed to operate under challenging environmental conditions, converting kinetic energy from the wind into electrical power.
