Gearbox failures are an issue in the wind industry, but OEMs are using new approaches for testing, manufacturing, design, and operations to improve turbine reliability.

Gear oils and lubricants are crucial for the reliable operation of gearboxes, enabling wind turbines to run smoothly and efficiently.

The surfacing of a wind blade typically consists of an in-mould gelcoat, or an in-mould primer followed by a subsequent painting operation. In-mould gelcoats have no post-production treatment and ...

Our main concern is to keep this local.” ADI Wind has created a prototype with two gears that replace four to six sets of gears in a conventional wind turbine gearbox, Winiasz said.
