Castrol is a market leader in lubrication and greases for the wind industry with a market share of around 33%, Nils Jacobi, Industrial Nordics at Castrol, said. The products offered in Castrols 360 Solution are a range of premium industrial oils and greases engineered to help optimise the performance of the wind turbine. Primarily our gear oils and greases, which reduce friction, are very efficient, Nils Jacobi said. Further to the oils and greases, Castrols 360 Solution offers state-of-the-art oil and vibration data analytics that helps predict when maintenance is needed. The Castrol SmartSensor is powered by ONYX InSights ecoCMS solution which provides real-time data and trending analytics on each wind turbine. ONYX Insight are specialists in digital predictions. Detecting an incident in a wind turbine before it occurs prevents downtime and production stops. It helps the operator save money and without the risk of a technician climbing the wind turbine tower, Nils Jacobi said. Environment and sustainability are essential to the 360 Solution and Castrol works closely with key wind energy players worldwide to help them meet their targets. Among the offerings are the Castrol Optigear Synthetic CT 320 and Castrol Optigear This can be reached by prolonging the oil change intervals, especially offshore, while cutting expenses on maintenance and service, Nils Jacobi said. Top treat of oil with additives is another solution used by Castrol to extend the life of the oils. Instead of replacing 500 litres of oil, then you can top treat with around 20 litres and thereby extend the service life of the oil, Nils Jacobi said.
