Global Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market Definition

Wind turbines have been used in one form over many years. The primary function of the gear oil for rolling bearings during a turbine is to minimize contact between rolling and sliding surfaces. As a result, friction and wear are kept to a coffee level. Gear oil comprises the following functions – heat dissipation from the bearing, corrosion protection, flushing out of wear particles and contaminants (recirculating oil lubrication with filtration of the oil), and support for the sealing effect of bearing seals i.e. grease collar and pneumatic oil lubrication. Surfaces moving relative to every other are separated completely or almost completely by a lubricant film.

This film is called gear oil. Hydrodynamic lubrication gear oil is predominantly used for wind turbines with a power rating of 0.75 MW to 2.5 MW. This lubricant is transferred to the narrowing lubrication gap through the motion of the contact surfaces relative to one another. Due to the extremely high pressure present in the immediate contact zone, the lubricant here has extremely high viscosity for a brief period and facilitates the separation of the contact surfaces. Development of advanced wind turbines within the 4 MW to five MW capacity range is under the testing phase.

Global Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market Overview

A rise in demand for wind energy as a source of electricity owing to its environmentally-friendly nature can augment the wind energy sector. This augmentation is boosting the global need for Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market. Moreover, the governments of various countries are promoting the wind energy industry. Wind energy is experiencing significant growth as government bodies are implementing policies such as subsidiaries, tax rebates, and minimum purchase price on wind turbine components and equipment for facilitating a shift from conventional energy to renewable energy.

Increased government spending to develop plants for the generation of renewable energy, developing infrastructure such as solar and wind energy. This, in turn, is likely to drive the Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market. Furthermore, Technological innovations and advancements have resulted in the development of digital wind farms which comprise wind turbine products and supporting solutions. These have positively anticipated propelling the growth of the Global Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market.

There are certain challenges and restraints faced that will hinder the overall market growth. The factors such as the shift toward synthetic lubricants caused a shrink in the overall demand for Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market. Also, increasing battery parity is limiting the market growth. Further, increasing crude oil prices, environmental degradation are estimated to sluggish growth during the forecast period. The stringent environmental norms and continuous reforms by governments are the potential restraints hampering the overall growth of the Global Wind Turbine Gear Lubricant Market. Nevertheless, the advancements in technologies, demand for renewable energy offer favorable growth opportunities.
