Specifications
  • Operating Data: Rated power ranges from 3,450 kW to 4,200 kW. Cut-in wind speed is 3 m/s, cut-out wind speed varies between 22.5 m/s and 25 m/s, and re cut-in wind speed is between 20 m/s and 23 m/s. The standard operating temperature range is from -20°C to +45°C, with de-rating above 30°C.
  • Sound Power: Maximum sound power levels range from 103.9 dB(A) to 107.3 dB(A), with sound optimized modes available depending on site and country.
  • Rotor: Rotor diameters range from 112 m to 150 m, with swept areas from 9,852 m² to 17,671 m². Air brake systems use full blade feathering with 3 pitch cylinders.
  • Electrical: Frequency options are 50/60 Hz with full-scale converters.
  • Gearbox: All models feature two planetary stages and one helical stage.
  • Tower and Nacelle Dimensions: Hub heights vary by model and site, with nacelle dimensions consistent across models (height for transport 3.4 m, installed height 6.9 m, length 12.8 m, width 4.2 m).
  • Blade Dimensions: Blade lengths range from 54.7 m to 73.7 m, with a maximum chord of 4.2 m and a maximum transport weight of 70 metric tonnes.
Turbine Options
Options include high wind operation, power and load optimized modes, condition monitoring systems, service personnel lifts, ice detection and de-icing systems, low temperature operation to -30°C, fire suppression, shadow detection, increased cut-in, aviation lights and markings, and Vestas InteliLight™.
Annual Energy Production
Energy production estimates are based on assumptions of one wind turbine, 100% availability, 0% losses, a k factor of 2, and standard air density of 1.225. Yearly average wind speeds are provided for different models, with energy production measured in GWh.
