Result from third party, external, expert investigation of blade incident on V112-3.0 MW
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) has carried out an investigation of the incident on 8
September 2010, when a blade piece detached from Vestas' V112-3.0 MW prototype
wind turbine in Lem, Denmark.
DNV's investigation has concluded that the cause of the incident is related to a
human error in the manually produced prototype blade. DNV's final conclusion
thus confirms Vestas' own conclusion, ref. company announcement No. 35/2010 of
10 September 2010.
