On June 5th, Schaeffler held the Wind MRO Symposium in Lugo, an event that brought together prominent leaders in the wind sector to discuss crucial topics related to innovation, maintenance, and sustainability in the current context of the energy transition. This meeting has established itself as a key platform for addressing how to extend the lifespan of wind turbines while also reducing the carbon footprint associated with their operation.
Among the participating companies were Acebrón, Gamesa Energy Transmissions, Metalúrgica BB, Sermec, and Sincromecánica, along with major industry operators such as Acciona and Naturgy. The day featured a series of technical presentations and networking opportunities, promoting an environment conducive to the exchange of experiences and knowledge about the latest trends in wind facility maintenance.
Schaeffler took the opportunity to present its innovations in bearing technologies, lubrication, and failure analysis, highlighting how these advancements contribute to improving the efficiency and reliability of wind turbines. José Antonio Pastor, Sector Manager for Wind at the company, emphasized Schaeffler’s commitment to sustainability, noting that their approach goes beyond conventional solutions, aiming to optimize resource use and extend the lifespan of components.
During the symposium, the Technical Director of the Wind Business Association, Juan de Dios López Leiva, shared his perspective on the challenges currently facing the sector. He highlighted the need to accelerate European legislation to improve approvals for wind projects and encourage the development of both onshore and offshore wind energy. In particular, the transformative potential of floating offshore wind was emphasized, which could double job opportunities in the industry and support local economic growth.
Attendees also had the opportunity to visit Norvento’s facilities, where specific applications of sustainable solutions in practice were addressed. The event concluded with the presentation of Schaeffler’s “Closed Loop Engineering” approach, which proposes a comprehensive development cycle in collaboration with wind turbine manufacturers, thereby enhancing both the efficiency and profitability of these structures.
This symposium reaffirms Schaeffler’s commitment to a more sustainable energy transition, seeking to foster innovation and efficiency that contribute to a cleaner and more profitable future for the wind sector.
