S4 - Blade Bearings
14 Nov - From 09:00 to 10:50
Introduction
As a wind turbine owner, ensuring the reliability and performance of blade bearings is crucial for maximizing energy production and minimizing maintenance costs. Factors such as proper lubrication, regular inspections, and proactive maintenance schedules are essential considerations to prevent premature bearing failures and ensure the smooth operation of wind turbines.
Your moderator for this roundtable
Miguel Osa Bujeiro, Asset Integrity Engineer at RWE Renewables
RWE is a global leader in the renewable energy sector, and they have spent many engineers’ hours finding a regime on how to handle blade bearings. Usually, these turbine-specific owners' meetings are hosted by O2O WIND, but we have asked our dear members to help us in Madrid.
A big thank you to RWE!
