Vestas launches two projects

By Kathie Zipp | June 7, 2010

Vestas announces two R&D projects: Deep water foundations for large offshore wind turbines, and an energy management system that will introduce energy storage into a wind power plant. Both projects will secure a lower cost of energy.

Building foundations offshore at large depths is a challenge. The goal of the project is to build deep water jacket foundations for large turbines located far offshore in water depths of up to 70 m. The second project will place energy storage into a wind power plant as an optional component for power generation control. The Danish National Advanced Technology Foundation will support the two projects with a total of DKK 55m. The total cost of the projects will be DKK 110 to 120m. Both projects will run for 3-5 years.
