5 ways to transform the world – Building a sustainable energy future with wind
The urgent need to transition to renewable energy sources has never been clearer. Sustainable technologies are already cost-effective but making them the world's main energy source requires additional action. In this article, we look at five changes that are inevitable to achieve a cleaner, greener future.
Wind innovations Part 2 – Three (more) wind technologies you should know about
The transition to carbon-free energy takes many forms. Ground-breaking technologies are emerging to meet the growing demand for renewable energy.
The wind workforce gap – Reasons for the gap and how to combat it
Obtaining a qualified workforce has become a growing and pressing challenge for the wind industry. Narrowing the labor gap will play a huge role in helping the industry meet its ambitious wind energy goals. In this article, we explore the causes of this gap and what can be done to close it.
Learning from one another – A new generation of hydrodynamic plain bearings for wind gearboxes
Learning from others and building industrial networks can often trigger groundbreaking innovation. In that vein, SKF and other industry leaders will gather at the Conference for Wind Power Drives (CWD) at the end of March to discuss and share developments and trends regarding wind turbine drivetrains.
Golden opportunities – The then and now of a wind energy giant
When it comes to wind energy, Goldwind is among the biggest names out there. The Chinese wind turbine manufacturer has established a global presence in promotion of the global energy transition, with SKF at its side as a leading supplier of rotating equipment. In this article, we put the spotlight on this partnership and share a few key projects and milestones the company has achieved since its inception.
Let’s talk innovation, reliability, and change – SKF at the ACP’s Operation, Maintenance and Safety Conference
By now, changes in the renewable energy industry are more than possible scenarios predicted by experts all over the world, they are real. To manage the challenges ahead, companies and stakeholders need to exchange knowledge and establish partnerships – by visiting events like the ACP OMS 2023.
Mining – How the industry is getting greener with wind
The mining industry is not exactly considered a pioneer when it comes to sustainability. But the industry is also key to the energy transition – after all, green technology relies heavily on certain metals and other materials. Wind energy could solve the dilemma.
Find. Fix. Eliminate. – Rest assured! Your main shaft assembly is in trusting hands
High-quality maintenance consists of more than just repairing a faulty component. SKF offers a wide range of products and services, so wind farm operators don’t have to worry in case of breakdown or emergency. Read for yourself!
Strong as a tree – Can wooden wind turbines transform the industry?
Wind turbine towers are mostly built out of steel, making them burdensome to transport. The heavy mass is not the only downside of these massive constructions. Although intended to generate renewable power, their manufacturing process is not as environmentally friendly as one might hope. But there is a solution: Swapping steel with wood.
