In this paper, a review of past and recent developments in the wind
turbine drive train is being studied. The objective is to review some of the basic
approaches of drive train configuration in wind turbines and to identify drive
train models including the modeling and simulation results of these models.
In recent years, considerable effort has been devoted to modeling, design, and
control of wind turbine including drive train .The number of publications on
computational strategies (multibody dynamics) are widely used for design and
simulation of wind turbines components has been steadily increasing.
