Vestas receives 150 MW service renewal at Canadian wind power plant

By Nic Sharpley | February 19, 2014

The service and renewal contract on the Vestas V90-3.0 MW turbines will last through 2020.

The service and renewal contract on the Vestas V90-3.0 MW turbines will last through 2020.

Vestas has secured a seven-year service and maintenance renewal from TransAlta for 50 V90-3.0 MW wind turbines at the Kent Hills wind power plant in New Brunswick, Canada.

The service agreement features the Active Output Management (AOM) 5000 offering. AOM 5000 is an energy-based availability guarantee that ensures the turbines are operational when the wind is blowing. This service option includes the VestasOnline surveillance system that remotely controls and monitors the turbines and predicts potential maintenance issues. This allows Vestas to plan maintenance so the turbines operate with the maximum amount of production.

Kent Hills was fully commissioned in 2008 and has the installed electrical capacity to power about 9,000 Canadian households.

Vestas installed its first wind turbine in Canada in 1997 and since has become the leading supplier in the country with more than 1,600 turbines and 2,700 MW cumulatively in every province — enough installed electrical capacity to power 800,000 homes.
