Enable your turbines to work smarter When a wind turbine is operating at wind speeds that are not sufficient to reach its nominal power, there are a variety of operational parameters that can be optimised to maximise efficiency. Vestas PowerPlus® offers a range of solutions to address production efficiency on the slope of the power curve. Power Performance Optimisation Based on site-specific conditions, instrumental parameters such as wind speed measurements, wind direction measurements and yaw position can be fine-tuned to increase output on the slope of the power curve. During the...

Push your investment to work harder Over the course of a wind turbine’s life, the conditions under which it operates might change and deviate from the forecasted conditions under which it was sited. These deviations can potentially result in turbines that do not harvest the full benefits of the wind. To help wind asset owners address this, Vestas PowerPlus® offers a few upgrades designed to enable turbines maximise production given the actual operational conditions. Power Uprate Essentially a new power mode, Power Uprate allows the turbine to reach a higher power level under full load...
