Abstract: Wind turbine brake system plays a very critical role in keeping WT operate normally and safely. This study aims to propose a solenoid based electro-hydro-mechanic braking system for WTs by using IoT. This system includes an intelligent control and monitoring system that commits the braking functionality in a more efficient and reliable way in terms of smooth braking performance, value engineering is a proven management technique that can make valuable contributions to value enhancement and cost reduction in wind industry. The overall estimated savings of the project resulting from the full value engineering study ranged between 20-30% of the element cost; VE is recognized as an effective way to improve the performance of a product with reduction in cost.
