Lubricants for Wind Power
For wind turbines operating in remote locations, whether that’s in mountainous regions or off-shore, emergency repairs or regular maintenance checks – such as oil changes – come at varying levels of expense and frequency. Considering the high number of issues that demand attention, it can be easy to focus on the immediate cost-savings and look past the potential benefits of optimising operations to the company’s bottom line.

[Background music plays]
Bright, uplifting piano music begins to play.
[Animated sequence]
The film opens on two men standing outside with high vis jackets and hard hats on. One points at an open folder whilst the other looks into the distance. There is a wind turbine in the distance to their left and bright blue skies fill the screen. The turbine turns in the background whilst they take a step forward and consult their open folder.

The visual slides from right to left to reveal a close up of the centre of one wind turbine set to the right of the screen, in a green field with blue skies. There are four more wind turbines at a distance and further turbines in the distance. The blade of the turbine turn slowly across the width of the screen.
