Trends in ocean energy

With 70% of the planet covered in water, ocean energy is an untapped sustainable energy resource that will benefit future generations, but the levellized cost of energy (LCOE) is still at 4–5 times the cost of traditional energy.

• SKF is actively involved in the emerging wave and tidal energy sectors with our 5 product platforms

• Major OEMs are now taking equity stakes in most advanced technology developers

Trends in wind energy

Commercial trends

• Onshore wind energy is increasingly cost-competitive in comparison with conventional energy

• Offshore wind energy is coming back on track

• Expansion from traditional markets to new emerging markets

• Increasing and more competitive aftermarket

Technology trends

• New technology in development

• Improved requirements for controlled processes and establishment of wind industry standards

• Longer life cycles with turbine upgrades

• Floating offshore turbine technology in development

Biggest wind energy market – China

Steady growth, and operations and maintenance expansion

• The Chinese global wind market, representing over 40% of the global wind market, is starting to mature with a more moderate and steady growth development

• A maturing market will lead to fewer but stronger turbine manufacturers

• Large potential for the aftermarket due to increasing numbers of wind turbines coming out of warranty over the coming years

• Increasing environmental concerns support investments in wind energy and other renewables in the coming years

• SKF is well-positioned at leading wind turbine and gearbox customers in China with local engineering team and local manufacturing
