Detect failure conditions early
Wind turbines represent a large investment requiring a high level of mechanical reliability for decades to come. Routine fluid analysis helps you maintain oil integrity, restrict external contamination and detect failure conditions early.
Oil analysis is an essential element of your reliability strategy that helps you mitigate downtime.

Downtime doesn’t just cost money. It costs megawatts and grid reliability. A single gearbox failure can mean:
- 12–18 months waiting for a replacement
- $250,000+ in repairs, cranes, and mobilization
- Thousands lost in missed energy production
Static OEM service cycles can’t protect against every risk. Each turbine has unique operating conditions – wind speed, load, temperature, contamination – making condition-based decisions essential.
That’s where Fluid Life comes in. Our oil and grease analysis helps renewable operators:
- Safely extend oil change intervals
- Detect gearbox wear and contamination early
- Keep turbines generating, not waiting for parts
Reliability isn’t a cost – it’s an investment in uptime and profitability.
WE CAN HELP YOU:
- Detect failures at an early stage
- Manage your contamination control efforts
- Confirm oil selection and condition
- Identify necessary shutdown work
- Plan and schedule upcoming mechanical repairs
- Prolong the useful life of your components
- Optimize your oil drain intervals
- Better manage spare parts inventory
- Integrate with other condition-monitoring techniques
