The Impact of Torque Reversals on Wind Turbine Bearings and Drivetrain Reliability

As wind energy continues to expand, the size and capacity of wind turbine generators are increasing, pushing design and materials to new limits. With this growth comes a rise in operational costs, particularly in repairs, downtime, and unscheduled maintenance. Ensuring drivetrain reliability is more critical than ever – especially for offshore wind farms, where maintenance is complex and costly.

One of the most critical yet often underestimated factors affecting wind turbine gearboxes and bearings are torque reversals – transient, high-magnitude load oscillations that can lead to premature degradation of components and catastrophic failures.

Join us for an in-depth webinar where we explore:

• The mechanics of torque reversals and their impact on wind turbine drivetrains.
• Real-world case studies demonstrating the consequences of transient torque events.
• Advanced monitoring techniques for detecting and mitigating damage before failures occur.
• Practical strategies to enhance drivetrain reliability and extend component lifespan.

Led by industry experts, this session will provide valuable technical insights for wind farm operators, maintenance teams, and engineering professionals looking to enhance turbine reliability and reduce costly downtime.
