He closes the van door, takes a few steps and stops to look out in front of him. In the distance, an out-of-focus digger and several wind turbines set against grey, cloudy skies. The land looks dry and arid. Juan Francisco Segura starts walking.

Interview with Francisco M. Lopez

[Caption]

Tests and checks are carried out in the wind turbine, which include analytics, video and endoscopies, which let us see the actual condition of the oil. The truth is that, so far, there have been no problems with this product.

Shell Omala S5 Wind

A new generation gearbox oil

Warren Cates in vision, captioned

Warren Cates Shell Project & Technology Lead, Lubricants: If it was easy to develop a product like this, everybody would have one.

Offshore wind turbine farm, wind turbines in long rows, turbines moving, a couple of boats move around them

[Audio – voice over]

Warren Cates: Some of these wind turbines are 100m up in the air. The specifications change whether they're over land or over water. They're 300 to 600 litres of product. It's never at rest, and it's never allowed to release the air or release the foam. The application has gone from being something that's been complex to something that's even more complex. We had to develop a product…

[Video]

Same turbine, medium close, from a different angle

Warren Cates in vision

Warren Cates: …that was specially built for a wind turbine application.

[Audio – voice over]

Warren Cates: I've been doing this work for 25 years, and this has been the most difficult and the most challenging development that we've had. There's been a lot of hard work by many, many different groups across the globe to ensure proper performance for the customer. The product development that went into this was game-changing for us. There's over 300 lines of testing, and many of the tests are specialised tests. One of the biggest characteristics is low temperature property. We wanted to make sure that the equipment was able to function at low temperature.

[Video]

Warren Cates walks across a laboratory to a colleague who points to and touches a piece of equipment in a glassed in area

Same activity from a different angle, Warren Cates and his colleague look closely at the equipment

Camera moves behind them and above their heads to a diagram on a monitor mounted on the wall

Two engineers walk towards large climatic test chamber

Pieter-Jan Jordaens in vision, captioned

Pieter-Jan Jordaens Senior Engineer, OWI LAB: …so-called ‘no-load’ test rig for gearboxes.

[Audio – voice over]

Pieter-Jan Jordaens: We have been testing at low temperatures ranging from zero degrees to minus 40 degrees. We have used it to measure the time to grit with this new oil which is being developed by Shell.

[Video]

Engineer in low temperature protecting clothing as above emerging from low temperature test rig

Engineer seated at monitors talks on walkie-talkie, monitor at top centre is a large video screen showing exterior of test rig, engineer in low temperature protective clothing in vision on that screen, he walks off

[Audio]

Inaudible talk across walkie-talkies

[Video]

Bastiaan Reymer in vision, captioned

Bastiaan Reymer Test & Validation Engineer: …because when there's a grid failure all the components cool off…

[Audio – voice over]

Bastiaan Reymer: …and then when they heat up again, that's when the possible failures might happen. We drive a 315 kilowatt motor which drives the high-speed shaft of the wind turbine gearbox. That way, we have a ‘no-load’ set up on which we can go until full speed and full torque in cold climates. The images that we have taken during the project looked impressive. There was definitely a difference between the standard oil that was used, and the Shell Omala S5.

Overlay of text writing onto the screen as image desaturates

Text:

Reduced Time To Grid

• Improved low temperature fluidity
• Higher loads in start-up cycle

Enhanced Equipment Protection

• Achieves an oil flow of up to 63% greater than the conventional synthetic gear oil

[Audio – voice over]

Warren Cates: Well, this new product is going to be a game-changer out in the wind turbine industry.

Warren Cates in vision

Warren Cates: The benefit that Shell Omala S5 Wind gives to the customer…

[Audio – voice over]

Warren Cates: …is that it's able to help the wind turbine get to temperature faster which allows the customer to get the electricity - their end product…

[Video]

Same comparative image as above, begins in full saturation, quickly desaturates, overlay text writes onto screen

Excellent Filtration Performance

-          Continued to be filtered even at the lowest temperature unlike the conventional synthetic gear oil

Warren Cates in vision

Warren Cates: …to the grid faster.

[Audio – voice over]

Warren Cates: We've been field testing this product for almost two years now, and to see this finally come to fruition is just...

Warren Cates in vision

Warren Cates: …it's...it's gratifying.
