Total’s initiative in a wind farm

Total has chosen Mardyck, near Dunkirk, a place swept by the winds of Northern France's plains, to build its wind farm in 2003. The farm has two 2-megawatt Vestas turbines, two 2.5 megawatts Nordex turbines, and a gigantic 100 meters high, 3.2 megawatts General Electric turbine.

Air power Wind turbines are complex mechanical installations. They require three types of special lubricant :

  • oils for hydraulic circuits and brakes,
  • greases for the slewing rings and bearings,
  • lubricants for the speed-increasing units.

Wind energy: a demanding industry for reliable and high performance lubricants
Speed-increasing units are particularly heavy lubricant consumers: from 350 to 700 litres. When the wind moves a wind turbine naturally, its blades rotate at about thirty revolutions per minute (rpm). With the speed-increasing unit, the generator can reach speeds of 1,500 rpm. Total has invested considerable R&D in this field, and developed two synthetic oils :

They avoid fatigue-related wear on the gears and corrosion on the gears, while also remaining fitter-friendly, non-foaming, water-resistant and harmless to operators. They offer long intervals between oil changes, up to 5 years with Carter SH 320.
