Renewable Energy
Maximising Reliability for Renewable Energy Assets
Renewable energy systems operate around the clock in demanding environments where reliability is essential. Whether onshore or offshore, unexpected equipment failures can lead to costly repairs, lost generation, and expensive downtime.
Lofrix products help protect critical drivetrain and hydraulic components by reducing friction, minimising wear, and extending lubricant life-keeping renewable energy assets operating at peak efficiency.
Designed for Wind Turbine Reliability
Wind turbine gearboxes and hydraulic systems operate under continuous load and are subjected to changing weather conditions, fluctuating temperatures, and high mechanical stress.
Lofrix Windpower has been specifically developed to improve lubrication performance, helping operators reduce wear, lower operating temperatures, and extend the service life of critical components.
Typical applications include:
- Wind turbine gearboxes
- Hydraulic systems
- Main bearings
- Yaw systems
- Pitch control systems
- Auxiliary mechanical equipment
Advanced Protection for Wind Turbine Gearboxes
Lofrix Windpower forms a protective molecular layer on metal surfaces, reducing friction within gearbox components while helping to maintain lubricant performance over extended operating periods.
Key Benefits
- Lower gearbox operating temperatures
- Reduced friction and wear
- Extended gearbox life
- Improved oil stability
- Longer lubricant service intervals
- Reduced maintenance costs
- Increased turbine availability
Wind Farm Gearbox Performance
A leading UK wind farm operator identified five turbines that were showing early signs of gearbox failure. Rising operating temperatures indicated increasing wear and the potential for costly breakdowns.
To improve reliability without major mechanical intervention, Lofrix Windpower was added directly to the existing gearbox lubricating oil.
The Results
Within just one hour, gearbox operating temperatures fell by approximately 6°C, helping to stabilise operating conditions and prevent the predicted failures.
Long-term monitoring also demonstrated:
- Lower gearbox operating temperatures
- Prevention of anticipated gearbox failures
- Extended oil life and maintained lubricant viscosity
- Reduced internal wear
- Improved long-term turbine reliability
- Lower maintenance requirements
Following the success of the gearbox programme, Lofrix Hydraulic was introduced into turbine hydraulic systems to help maintain oil stability and protect seals under demanding operating conditions.
Today, Lofrix Windpower is used in more than 10% of the UK's large wind turbines, helping operators improve reliability while reducing maintenance costs.
