Rotor Brake A mechanical breaking system is besides the aerodynamic breaking function of the rotor an unavoidable component of a wind turbine. It is part of the mechanical drive train. The first task is to keep the rotor of a wind turbine in position when it is at a standstill. Locking the rotor is a must for servicing and repair work and is generally common practice during normal down times. Moreover, most turbines have locking bolts between rotor hub and nacelle for bridging extended periods of standstill and for servicing and repair work. The rotor can thus be secured in one or more positions. Rotor brakes are almost always disk brakes. Suitable disk brakes can frequently be adopted cost-effectively from existing production runs intended for other machines or vehicles .Against this background, the design of the rotor brake itself poses few problems. Nevertheless, the rotor brake presents the systems designer of a wind turbine with issues which have consequences for the entire system. The first and most important question is, which task the rotor brake is to fulfill within the operating concept. In the simplest case, its role is restricted to a mere holding function during rotor standstill. In this case, the brake must be dimensioned for the required holding torque of the rotor during standstill. This is determined in accordance with the aerodynamic forces calculated to occur at the assumed maximum wind speeds (Chapt.6.3.2). Apart from its function as a pure rotor parking brake, the rotor brake can also be dimensioned as a service brake. As long as the braking torque and braking power(thermal loading) can be absorbed, the mechanical rotor brake can be used as a second independent raking system in addition to aerodynamic rotor braking and the operational reliability of the wind turbine is considerably improved in this way. In small wind turbines, a mechanical rotor brake, which in cases of emergency prevents rotor runaway, has proved to be extraordinarily successf
