Are you looking for the maximum return on your investment in wind energy? Wind energy means the world to us. And we want it to mean the world to you – our customers, too, by maximising your profits and strengthening the certainty of your investment in wind power. That’s why, together with our partners, we always strive to deliver efficient solutions and wind technologies, high quality products and first-class services throughout the entire value chain. And it’s why we put so much emphasis on reliability, consistency and predictability of our technology. We have over 40 years’ experience in...

In addition, our engineers have increased the nominal power across the entire platform improving your energy production significantly. With this expansion, the 4 MW platform covers all IEC wind classes with a variety of rotor sizes and a rated output power of up to 4.5 MW. What is the 4 MW Platform today? The Vestas 4 MW platform is designed for a broad range of wind and site conditions, applicable for either land- or capacityconstrained markets. Since the introduction in 2010 with the launch of the V1123.0 MW®, the platform was upgraded, and new variants are introduced utilising the...

How does our technology generate more energy? More power for every wind site The V112-3.45 MW®, the V117-3.45 MW®, the V117-4.2 MW™, the V126- 3.45 MW®, the V136-3.45 MW®, the V136-4.2 MW™, the V136 -4.5 MW™, the V150-4.2 MW™ and the V150-4.5 MW™ are available with several Sound Optimised Modes to meet sound level restrictions with an optimised production. The power system enables superior grid support, and it is capable of maintaining production across severe drops in grid voltage, while simultaneously minimising tower and foundation loads. It also allows rapid down-rating of production to...

Life testing The Vestas Test Centre has the unique ability to test complete nacelles using technologies like Highly Accelerated Life...

Is the 4 MW platform the optimal choice for your specific site? One common nacelle – nine different rotor sizes The wind conditions on a wind project site are often not identical. The 4 MW platform features a range of turbines that cover all wind classes. Combined across your site, they help maximise the energy output of your power plant. Tip-height restrictions and strict grid requirements With a rotor size of 105 m, the V105-3.45 MW™ IEC IA is the turbine that fits the most severe wind conditions. It has an extremely robust design for tough site conditions and is especially suited for...

Would you benefit from uninterrupted control of wind energy production? Knowledge about wind project planning is key Getting your wind energy project up and operating as quickly as possible is fundamental to its long-term success. One of the first and most important steps is to identify the most suitable location for your wind power plant. Vestas' SiteHunt® is an advanced analytical tool that examines a broad spectrum of wind and weather data to evaluate potential sites and establish which of them can provide optimum conditions for your project. In addition, SiteDesign® optimises the layout...

Performance and diagnostics The Vestas Performance and Diagnostics Centre monitors more than 49,000 turbines worldwide. We use this information to continually develop and improve our products and services. Turbines monitored

Vestas’ transparency towards Sustainability Vestas Sustainability In 2020 we introduced our sustainability strategy, Sustainability in Everything We Do. At Vestas we are working to improve our own environmental performance, create value for local communities, promote a safe, diverse, and inclusive workplace, while leading the transition to a world powered by sustainable energy. We believe these efforts will help elevate the standards of our industry as a whole. Read more about Vestas sustainability strategy at www.vestas.com/en/sustainability.
