Offshore Wind Turbine launch from Vestas

By Windpower Engineering | September 14, 2009

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.

    Vestas attract many attention in these days. They closed the blades factory in UK and build two new factory in Spain and Australia. In this conference, they published the new offshore wind turbine. I think vestas need to slow its step in the market.
