Wind energy

The wind industry is under enormous pressure to reduce cost per MWh by improving turbine designs, raising performance, increasing reliability – all while reducing maintenance costs. Wind turbine operators must ensure that their assets remain operational for as long as possible. Turbines often operate under tough conditions – offshore, in cold climates or remote locations – which can limit their performance and reliability. High cost of repairs and long lead times for replacement parts can make energy generation uncompetitive.

Finding reliable components and applying smart processes is critical

Anything that prevents a service trip can boost return on investment and reduce the levelized cost of energy. SKF spent many years working with leading OEMs to optimise turbine performance, reliability and energy output. We design and develop bearings, seals, condition monitoring systems and lubrication systems that can enable more cost-effective wind energy generation and lower lubricant consumption.
