MRO, Reliability and Lubrication in Wind Turbine Applications

Thursday, 9 May 2024

Effective MRO strategies reduce downtime and operational costs, enhancing turbine performance and proper lubrication is essential to reduce friction, prevent wear, and protect against extreme conditions, ultimately extending the lifespan of turbine components. Regular monitoring and analysis of lubricant condition help in early detection of potential issues, such as contamination or degradation, enabling timely maintenance actions.

Discussion Points: 

• Challenges in wind turbine maintenance and reliability 
• Trends in wind powertrain components and design 
• Impact of lubrication on reliability   
• Understanding  failure modes  
• Advances in lubricant formulations for extreme conditions
