The wind energy sector is one of the most dynamic industrial sectors. The requirements for wind turbines are continuously increasing and require specific hardware and maintenance regimes to ensure reliable and safe operations even in tough conditions and remote locations.
Lubricants play a critical role throughout the lifetime of a wind turbine installation. Under today’s diverse operations where severe conditions like cold-climate and off-shore applications including peak loading are the new norm, your turbine equipment is even more challenged. However, the right Lubricant and dedicated lubrication practices can enhance your turbine availability, duration of the hardware and total cost of ownership.
The webinar will introduce the latest trends in the wind turbine industry as well as today’s O&M challenges wind turbine operators are facing. Innovative wind turbine lubricants like Shell Omala S5 Wind 320 synthetic gear box oil or blade bearing grease Shell Gadus S5 V110KP are designed to improve your turbine lifespan and reduce your maintenance costs.
Learn how these synthetic high quality lubricants can help to extend the maintenance intervals, protect your equipment and improve the efficiency of your turbine system.
