Vestas lancerer V112-3,0 MW-møllen til offshore (teksten findes kun på engelsk)

Report this content
Today, at the European Offshore Wind Conference in Stockholm, Sweden, Vestas    
will announce a new turbine for the offshore market.                            
The V112-3.0 MW offshore model is optimised for the conditions at sea and will  
be a hard working, reliable turbine. The V112-3.0 MW Offshore can generate more 
power than any other turbine in the 3 MW class. It offers an exceptional        
rotor-to-generator ratio for greater efficiency, and delivers high reliability, 
serviceability and availability under all wind and weather conditions - setting 
a whole new standard for turbine performance and efficiency. It features an     
extended production envelope, and delivers optimal output in average wind speeds
up to 9.5 m/s. The V112-3.0 MW will be class individually IECS certified for    
each separate offshore project.                                                 

“This is a milestone for Vestas. The launch of yet another turbine for the      
offshore market underlines our commitment to remain a strong and leading player 
in the offshore industry. Vestas is fully dedicated to keep servicing our       
offshore customers and to provide them with the best possible business case     
certainty. The V112-3.0 MW Offshore is one more step towards Vestas becoming    
even more competitive in the offshore market, and we do not intend to stop here.
We are in the offshore market for the long run, and we will therefore have even 
more to reveal in this respect within the coming months,” Anders Søe-Jensen,    
President of Vestas Offshore explains.                                          

As an outcome of this dedication, Vestas has joined a research programme with   
Nowitech, Norway, on floating foundations suitable for water depths of more than
30 metres.                                                                      

“We are continuously looking into different solutions and materials that will   
bring even more value to our customers and lower the cost of energy in future   
offshore wind power plants. In that respect, floating foundations could be one  
possibility, and we consequently want to be involved in the relevant research   
being conducted,” Anders Søe-Jensen continues.                                  

Marketing of the V112-3.0 MW Offshore will commence now, and the first turbines 
will be installed in late 2010 and serial delivery in 2011.                     


About Vestas Offshore                                                           
Vestas has been in the offshore wind industry since its beginning and has       
installed around half of the world's offshore wind power plants i.e. a total of 
more than 400 offshore wind turbines, providing a capacity of over 900 MW. The  
V112-3.0 MW Offshore will be the third turbine in the offshore product line.    
Vestas also has the V90-3.0 MW and the V80-2.0 MW.                              

Vestas' first offshore wind turbines were installed in 1990, which means we have
a long experience in:  
                                                         
the challenges related to constructing wind power plants at sea,                
the design-related requirements,                                                
how to optimise transport and installation and                                  
the required safety measures.                                                   

Vestas also has specialised expertise in areas such as offshore siting,         
foundation, adaptation of turbines for extreme sea-based wind and weather       
conditions, project management and installation.
