Vestas launches two groundbreaking projects, lowering cost of energy for        
customers                                                                       
                                                                                
Vestas announces two very important R&D projects: Cost-effective deep water     
foundations for large offshore wind turbines and an Intelligent Energy          
Management System that will introduce energy storage into a wind power plant.   
Both projects will secure a lower cost of energy for our customers.             
                                                                                
Building foundations offshore at large depths is a huge challenge. The goal of  
this project is to be able to design, construct, and build cost effective deep  
water jacket foundations for very large wind turbines located far offshore in   
water depths of up to 70 metres. Normally, foundations and turbines are         
contracted as two separate items. That will change with this project, driving   
down the cost even more while increasing the quality.                           
                                                                                
“The competition on the market is fierce. The winners of the offshore race will 
be the ones that are able to deliver reliable products that can be installed at 
very large depths. This offshore project focuses on developing foundations that 
secures the highest quality possible at lowest possible price. This way we can  
secure our customers the lowest cost of energy in the long run,” says Finn Strøm
Madsen, President of Vestas Technology R&D.                                     
                                                                                
The second project announced is the Intelligent Energy Management System for a  
Virtual Power Plant. This project will introduce energy storage into a wind     
power plant as an optional component for enhanced power generation control.     
                                                                                
“Storage embedded in the wind power plant allows the power to be regulated      
without compromising any capture of available wind energy. Such a balancing     
mechanism opens for even higher amounts of wind power on the grid and for added 
value of the generated wind power to the transmission system operator. In turn, 
this makes our wind power plants an even better investment for our customers,”  
says Finn Strøm Madsen.                                                         
                                                                                
These projects are initiated by Vestas and they are developed in close          
cooperation with important partners. The Danish National Advanced Technology    
Foundation announced that they will support the two projects with a total of DKK
55m. The total cost of the projects will be DKK 110-120m. Both projects will run
for 3-5 years.
