Lubricant Market Expands to Wind Turbines

(May 16, 2011)

Global lubricant demand is forecast to reach 40.5 million metric tons in 2012. According to a recent study, the market is estimated at $48.8 billion. Companies in this booming market are expanding their lubricant lines to include those for more industries such as wind. Wind equipment requires specialized lubricants.

For instance, they may require certain blends of base oil and additives to cover different lubrication requirements of individual bearings in wind-power stations. One trend has been toward reducing maintenance costs and simplifying lubrication routines in the nacelle. Also, as wind turbines are built higher and in more extreme conditions, the trends is toward using low-viscosity lubricants to address cold weather effects, produce more power, and decrease micropitting.

Also, engineers are using specialty synthetics instead of mineral oils, along with particle counters to control contamination.

To reduce maintenance costs and simplify lubrication in the nacelle, operators are using one lubricant for all bearings.
