SKF at WindEnergy Hamburg – The latest innovations to be showcased in September
WindEnergy Hamburg is fast approaching. The leading exhibition will showcase numerous innovations, from condition monitoring systems to bearings for the wind energy industry. What can attendees expect from the event and what will SKF be exhibiting?
The world of bearings – What bearings do wind turbines use?
Bearings are responsible for ensuring wind turbines keep on turning. They are active in numerous parts of machinery and play different roles. Therefore, there is a wide variety in every turbine. What are some of the key bearings and how are they used?
A day in the life – The duties of a modern wind turbine service technician
There are a diverse range of career paths in wind energy. As a result, there is a wide variety of responsibilities to ensure reliable wind farm operation. The first part of this series looks at the duties of a wind turbine service technician.
Revolutionizing wind – Floating wind turbine project underway in France
Offshore wind farms represent an opportunity to generate electricity much more efficiently while protecting the environment. Winds are strongest further out at sea, but conventional offshore turbines can only be installed at limited depths. Consequently, floating wind turbines are emerging as a trend.
Fighting against fakes – The hazardous implications of counterfeit bearings
Sometimes a deal can seem too good to be true. When it comes to bearings this is often the case. Unfortunately, there are many counterfeit bearings on the market. It may not be an issue that consumers are aware of or give much consideration. However, the consequences of purchasing fakes can be disastrous. But what are the dangers?
Construction in wind energy – Key considerations when building a wind farm
The planning and preparation that goes into constructing an operational wind farm is enormous. From choosing the right location to installing the turbines and commissioning the facility, there’s a lot for organizations to consider. Where do you start when building a wind farm?
Bearing World Conference 2018 – What did attendees gain from the leading event?
What’s new in the world of bearings? The Bearing World Conference 2018 has it all covered – from new innovations to trends and workshops. The exhibition brought together professionals and experts from a wide variety of countries to discuss pressing topics.
Next stop: Hamburg – The world’s biggest wind energy summit approaches
In September this year, Hamburg will host WindEnergy, the leading expo for onshore and offshore wind turbine technology. It is more than a simple trade fair and will address the whole value chain for wind energy. Why should professionals attend and what can they expect?
