El clima importa. Y mucho. 🇪🇸 At WindEurope 2026 in Madrid, one theme kept coming up in conversations with operators: climate really does show up in generator performance. The open question is what to do with that insight day to day. Our colleague German Aguado presented an analysis that takes a closer look. One factor stands out in particular: absolute humidity and its influence on patina formation, and what that means for power transmission. The key takeaway is not that materials have weaknesses. It is that there is extra performance potential when brush grades are matched to the real operating environment. Climate-optimized brush selection can help to: - reduce wear over time - protect the slip ring surface - ensure stable operation under varying conditions Many operators already notice these effects. What is often missing is a structured way to turn those observations into clear maintenance decisions. How do you factor climate conditions into your maintenance strategy?
