Webinar: Bigger turbines and blades: Challenge for bearings

Bundesverband WindEnergie
Veranstalter: Bundesverband WindEnergie
Online

As stated by the European Academy of Wind Energy (EAWE), the wind industry has identified main bearing failures as a critical issue in terms of increasing wind turbine reliability and availability. Learn about the challenges for bearings and how the industry can meet the requirements.

  • Get the latest view on challenges and insights into bearings for bigger turbines and blades
  • Learn from the UK’s example how composite and offshore wind sectors gather market intelligence and explore the potential for how the next-generation components can be manufactured and delivered
  • Investigate the latest innovations in the Bearings Industry to help in cost optimization by improved reliability and extending bearing lifecycle
  • Hear about adequate main bearing configurations for 20MW and beyond
  • Get an insight into how hydrodynamic journal bearings compare to rolling element bearings at the large sizes required for next generation wind turbines including cost analysis and economic impact
  • Get the latest view on roller bearings for 20+ MW Wind Main Shafts
