Wind energy is a type of kinetic energy produced by the effect of air currents. It is a renewable, clean energy that does not pollute and that helps to replace the energy produced through fossil fuels. The global need to generate energy without emissions to the environment, has led the wind power generation market to a sustained growth during the last decade. The control of fluids in rotating systems to improve the reliability of this turbine is essential to obtain the best return on investment. Wind turbine lubricants play an important role in the operation, maintenance and reliability of the equipment in a wind farm. There are various lubrication points in a wind turbine, including gearboxes, planetary multiplier boxes, rotating gear systems, hydraulics, such as generator lubrication systems. These points require various lubricants such as gear oils, hydraulic oils, and greases.

Tribo-Lab ™ focuses on ensuring that 100% of the fluids meet the requirement through frequent monitoring of each fluid. Gear oil is used to lubricate gearboxes, for this we recommend applying the TRIBO 1 basic package. Grease is a key fluid for the best performance of wind turbines, for a routine evaluation we recommend the TRIBO 11 test package, which It gives us basic information on the fat used with respect to virgin fat. Other key fluids are hydraulic fluids used in hydraulic systems to control the pitch of the blades, in this application we recommend the TRIBO 2 test.
