Since 1990, Vestas has installed more than 590 turbines offshore providing a total capacity of 1,457 MW

Thorough analysis were conducted and evaluated on key components and design choices were made in relation to customer value drivers, technology and market assessments. The development of the V164-8.0 MW® prototype is progressing as planned and the scheduled installation of it is moved forward to the first quarter of 2014. Testing of key components has begun and the V164-8.0 MW® test bench is in place. Individual components, systems and integration are tested on functional performance, robustness, reliability & compliance. Testing of pitch system and blade bearing is taking place at our...

V164-8.0 MW® . A game changer in the industry. Previous offshore turbines have been adapted from onshore equivalents. The V164-8.0 MW® is different. From the first nut to the last bolt, it has been specifically designed with offshore conditions in mind. The challenges associated with harvesting offshore wind power are clear – the large scale of projects, the distance from shore, an environment that is generally more wet, windy and hostile than onshore; not to mention the depths of installation and risks to safety inherent in an offshore environment. Overcoming these challenges require vast...

V112-3.3 MW™ . A proven and reliable turbine. The V112-3.3 MW™ IEC IB is built on the proven technology of previous Vestas turbines, including the V112-3.0 MW™. It therefore provides higher reliability, reducing the risk of downtime and ensuring the stability of your investment. The power system is designed to deliver excellent grid support and is highly adaptable for future technical requirements. It also enables substations to be simpler and more cost-effective. Rigorous quality assurance, right from the start Installation and transportation costs The Vestas Test Centre is unrivalled in...

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. Vestas provides a number of value-adding solutions to help you achieve this: SiteHunt® One of the first steps is to identify the most suitable location for your wind power plant. And that’s where Vestas' SiteHunt® can help. Vestas' SiteHunt® analyses a broad range of wind and weather data to evaluate potential sites and identify the best one for your project....

+24,000 The Vestas Performance and Diagnostics Centre monitors more than 24,000 turbines worldwide. We use this information to continually develop and improve our products and services. Pre-assembly and Installation The Vestas pre-assembly approach is showing huge advantages in pre-test and pre-commission because this ensures that all components are working. Technicians can also prepare all electrical testing on shore saving costly service and maintance time at sea. Once the turbines are installed at sea, they will be up and running within a few hours without trouble-shooting. Vestas starts...
