Wind Energy

Some of the greatest growth in wind energy is expected from offshore wind farms. As their turbines get bigger to capture more energy, there is more emphasis on component reliability, as well as cost and weight reductions.

Wind energy is now the No. 1 renewable energy in the U.S. and No. 2 globally after hydroelectric power. Growth is being driven by government incentives and cost reductions from economies of scale. Capacity from offshore wind turbines is forecast to grow 25% annually over the next decade, with offshore floating turbines an emerging segment. New hybrid projects are combining land-based wind turbines with solar energy and battery storage to generate more reliable electricity for the grid.

Parker hydraulic power units are available in an endless variety of pressure and flow ranges, reservoir capacities, materials and fluid compatibility. Hydraulic power units consisting of pumps, reservoirs, relief valves, filters, sight gages and filler breathers from Parker deliver reliable power for hydraulic systems.
