Off the UK coast, a wall of rising bubbles is quietly making a big difference. For the first time in UK waters, a bubble curtain is being used during offshore wind farm construction. The technology is now in action at the Sofia offshore wind farm, one of Europe’s largest energy projects.

The wind map is being redrawn. China may still lead, but new voices are rising — and they’re bringing ambition, urgency, and fresh momentum.

Ignoring bearing wear can lead to failures, costly repairs, and extended downtime. But when is the right time to replace a bearing? Learn how understanding wear patterns and monitoring key indicators can help wind farm operators make proactive maintenance decisions.

When it comes to any type of machinery, including wind turbines, proper lubrication is one of the simplest yet most important ways to keep everything running smoothly. Understanding how lubrication works can save a lot of time, money, and headaches. This article takes a closer look at oil and grease — what they are, how they work, and why they matter.

Golden Plains Wind Farm, currently under construction in Victoria, is Australia's largest wind power project so far. With a planned capacity of 1,330 MW, this ambitious development aims to significantly boost the country’s renewable energy output.

SKF will present developments in wind turbine bearing systems at the 16th VDI conference on slide and rolling bearings, held on 3-4 June 2025 in Schweinfurt, Germany. Topics include sensorized rolling elements and validation testing, with a guided tour of SKF’s Sven Wingquist Test Center also available.
