WIND TURBINE PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION

Wind assets must operate continuously at peak performance to maximize energy production and revenue. Lubrication management solutions designed to address extreme operating conditions help improve wind turbine efficiency and reliability and minimize downtime and maintenance costs. With experience onsite and up-tower, AMSOIL Industrial wind energy engineers understand common asset challenges and provide insights and solutions to help you mitigate risk.

WIND TURBINE MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS

Remote locations and extreme weather conditions present unique lubrication challenges that can lead to increased downtime, higher maintenance costs and reduced asset life.

Common Wind Turbine Challenges

• Complex Operations: Frequent up-tower maintenance reduces overall operational efficiency and profitability.
• Additive Depletion: Lubricants that are not designed for wind applications break down faster in harsh conditions and require frequent replacement.
• Water Absorption: Moisture reduces lubricant performance, protection and service life and increases the risk of corrosion and component wear.
• Micropitting: Contaminants cause permanent gear-tooth damage that reduces efficiency and leads to expensive downtime and repairs.

AMSOIL Industrial provides cost-effective strategic solutions supported by decades of in-field wind turbine service expertise.

FAQs

How do AMSOIL Industrial lubricants prevent micropitting in wind turbine gearboxes?

AMSOIL Industrial gear oils are specifically engineered with high-quality synthetic base oils and advanced anti-micropitting technology that minimizes friction and metal-to-metal contact under extreme-pressure shock loading to protect against surface fatigue and micropitting wear, ensuring smooth operation and maximum gear life.

How do AMSOIL Industrial lubricants combat environmental contaminants?

Most AMSOIL Industrial hydraulic and gear oils are filterable down to 3 microns with bypass filtration and filtered at packaging to ISO 4406 cleanliness code 16/14/11, exceeding the requirements of gearbox and hydraulic systems manufacturers and eliminating the need for prefiltering to remove contaminants before installation.

How do AMSOIL Industrial lubricants handle extreme weather conditions?

AMSOIL Industrial synthetic lubricants are engineered with high viscosity indexes for maximum thermal stability and superior protection and performance in extremely hot and cold environments. They are also designed to inhibit corrosion and readily separate from water for easy drainage, providing superior equipment protection and extended service life in remote locations and harsh environments.
