Often undervalued, lubricants are at the heart of successful wind operations. As the industry moves towards bigger turbines with greater capacity and more complex designs, their role will only become more important for optimising output and reducing inefficiencies.
The wind industry is facing increased financial pressure, and one way wind turbine manufacturers can help reduce costs is to choose high performance lubricants with extended drain intervals.
With over 20 years of experience in onshore and offshore wind development, Shell is a strategic partner in Wind. Together, we can help our customers not only improve maintenance intervals, but also improve the Annual Energy Production of wind farms.
When it comes to carbon neutral lubricants¹, having a complete product lifecycle approach to reducing CO₂ output is essential, which is why we look at this issue from a cradle to grave perspective.
As we see the number of turbines increase globally, we must make sure the industry is well equipped to maintain and optimise this increasing capacity. That means ensuring there is an adequate workforce in place with access to the right quality and quantity of training.
1"Carbon neutral" indicates that Shell has engaged in a transaction where an amount of CO₂ equivalent to the CO₂e amount associated with the raw material extraction, transport, production, distribution, and end-of-life of the product has been avoided as emissions through the protection of natural ecosystems or removed from the atmosphere through a natural ecosystem or removed from the atmosphere through a nature-based process. CO₂e (CO₂ equivalent) refers to CO₂, methane, and nitrogen oxides.
