Innovations for the future – SKF at WindEnergy Hamburg 2024
Once again, Hamburg is set to become the global hub for wind energy enthusiasts as it hosts WindEnergy, the premier expo for onshore and offshore wind turbine technology, from September 24-27, 2024. Here’s where you can find SKF and what you can expect.
Hot topics in bearing tech – SKF at the Bearing World conference
SKF is excited to announce its participation in the 5th International FVA-Conference, scheduled for June 25-26, 2024, in Würzburg, Germany. The event is a must-attend for anyone interested in the latest advancements in bearing technology.
Chartering the future of the clean energy workforce – ACP’s OMS Conference 2024
Get ready for American Clean Power's highly anticipated Operations, Maintenance and Safety Conference , which will take place at the Manchester Grand Hyatt San Diego from February 21 to 23. Visit SKF at booth 517 for an enlightening exploration of our products.
Turbulent times – What is the fate of aged wind turbines?
Recently, the wind energy sector has been shaken by two significant incidents in North-Rhine Westphalia, Germany. In one case, a wind turbine collapsed and crashed into a corn field at Gescher; in another, a fire broke out in a wind farm in Stemwede Bürgerwindpark. Both instances have drawn attention to the challenges aging wind farms are facing. Could these unfortunate events have been prevented?
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.
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.
Missing the 1.5°C target? – Highlights of COP27
Limiting global warming to a maximum of 1.5° C compared to preindustrial levels has become prevalent on the agenda of many countries. It was also part of the agenda at the 27th annual UN Climate Change Conference, which recently took place in Egypt. What did the decision makers discuss?
Partnering up for the future – SKF at WindEurope Bilbao
WindEurope once again pulls in the crème de la crème of the wind industry. Over 9,800 participants, 334 exhibitors and around 250 speakers took to Bilbao, where SKF presented its own services and solutions – and offered wind farm stakeholders an opportunity to rise to current and future industrial challenges.
A new era for gearbox bearings – How innovative rolling bearings are enabling changes in the wind industry
The wind industry is in a fierce race to reduce the levelized cost of energy to become competitive with other energy sources. New developments in rolling bearing technology allow to reduce the drivetrain weight which significantly reduces the costs and even increases the power. This allows to increase the onshore turbine sizes within the limitations for transport.
