Lubrication Oil in wind turbines is needed to lubricate the moving parts reducing friction and wear.
Heat Dissipation oil helps to carry away this heat, preventing overheating and potential damage to the components.
Corrosion Protection Turbine Oils have additives that help protect metal surfaces from corrosion which is especially important in offshore wind turbines.
Noise Reduction It can minimize operational noise by reducing friction which can be a significant issue for wind turbines.
Shock Absorption Oil can also provide a degree of shock absorption in gearbox systems protecting gears from impact damage.
Contaminant Removal The oil helps to carry away contaminants from the system keeping the system properly functioning.
Need to withstand high pressures, resist oxidation, and protect against wear and corrosion and should contain specific additives to enhance their performance
Hydraulic fluids transmit power within the hydraulic systems used in wind turbines, such as the blade pitch control system
Lubricate the main bearings, which support the weight of the rotor and blades
Often used in various locations, including the yaw and pitch bearings and the generator bearings
These are used in the wind turbine's transformer, where they act as both a coolant and an electrical insulator. Transformer oils need to resist thermal degradation and have excellent dielectric properties.
