Rethinking the continued operation of ageing wind farms

In the wind industry, many companies now operate wind farms that have been in use for many years.

As wind turbines get older, the demands on gearboxes, bearings and lubricant systems increase. Wear, oil ageing and contamination have a direct impact on availability and maintenance costs. Fundamental decisions on repowering or decommissioning are also coming more into focus.

Our webinar shows a third way: the reliable continued operation of ageing wind turbines without major investments in new main components or systems – through the targeted optimization of central lubrication systems with modern oil maintenance strategies. This increases operational reliability, reduces wear and tear and improves the performance of existing systems.

We will cover

  • Influence of the oil condition on gearbox service life, bearing load and system availability
  • Modern oil maintenance and filtration concepts for ageing wind turbines
  • Options for reducing wear, contamination and unplanned downtimes
  • Approaches to optimizing operations without major CAPEX measures
  • Practically relevant impulses for operators, service organizations, OEMs and technical decision-makers
