Vestas PowerPlus?

Product catalog summary

Overview: Vestas PowerPlus™ offers a series of upgrades aimed at enhancing the performance of existing wind power plants. These upgrades focus on optimizing turbine control parameters and aerodynamic performance to potentially increase power production by up to 5% annually, depending on turbine type and site conditions.

Power Uprate: This upgrade targets the V82-1.65 MW®, V90-1.8 MW®, and V100-1.8 MW® turbines. By optimizing load margins, the nominal power output can be increased, resulting in up to a 4% increase in annual energy production. The process involves a turbine-by-turbine loads evaluation using DNV-certified software and reconfiguration to new nominal power levels.

Extended Cut Out: Designed for the V90-3.0 MW®, V100-2.0 MW®, and V100-1.8 MW® turbines, this upgrade allows turbines to operate in stronger winds by extending cut out and re-cut in wind speeds, potentially increasing annual energy production by up to 2%.

Aerodynamic Upgrades: Vortex generators are introduced to improve the aerodynamic performance of V82 turbines, increasing annual energy production by up to 0.8%. These generators are specifically designed for Vestas blades and are made with durable materials to ensure longevity.

Benefits: The upgrades offer several benefits, including increased energy production, optimized use of turbine load margins, reduced frequency of high wind-related stops, and faster recovery of capital costs. All upgrades are backed by Vestas' extensive knowledge and continuous research and development efforts.
