Using the best features from across the range, as well as some of the industry’s most stringently tested components and systems, this turbine’s reliable design minimises your downtime – helping to give you the best possible return on your investment. reliability. At the critical component level, potential failure modes and mechanisms are identified and specialised test rigs are used to ensure strength and robustness for the gearbox, generator, yaw system, pitch system and lubrication system. We have quality controls in place to manage variations in the manufacturing process and to ensure that each component is delivered to design specifications and performs at site. Vestas employs a Six Sigma philosophy – and aims to perform at Six Sigma levels during 2011 – and our standards mean that we reproduce each component to validated design specifications. We have identified critical manufacturing processes (both in-house and for sub-suppliers) and we systematically monitor measurement trends that are critical to quality to identify variation and make changes before any defects occur.

Here’s an overview of selected features that optimise your energy production, reduce operational costs and strengthen the business case for choosing the highperforming V90-3.0 MW. Designed for easy service The V90-3.0 MW is designed for a 12 month service interval instead of usual 6 months. This means that you can plan your maintenance for the season avoiding the windiest months and minimising lost production. Designed for uncomplicated transport and reduced installation costs The V90-3.0 MW is designed to be transported easily to virtually any site around the world. All of its components comply with local and international limits for standard transportation. The nacelle does not require on-site assembly – lowering your installation costs, as less activity is needed. We also use anchor bolts in our foundation design, which allows faster erection on-site and simpler tower realignment. Innovative drive train The V90-3.0 MW minimises weight and loads through its innovative nacelle design and high-efficiency integrated drive train. The result is a turbine that can generate more power without an appreciable increase in size, weight, or tower load. Groundbreaking blade design Blades are made out of a glass fibre/carbon spar with glass fibre airfoil shells creating one of the lightest 44 m blade on the market. As a result the V90-3.0 MW blades maximise production while reducing the loads transferred to the nacelle. Advanced grid support The turbine features advanced control of reactive power capability which stabilises the frequency and the voltage of the grid. The V90-3.0MW is also able to support the grid according to various applicable grid requirements.

VestasOnline® Business Vestas wind turbines benefit from the latest Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system for modern wind power plants: VestasOnline® Business. This flexible system includes an extensive range of monitoring and management functions that allow you to control your wind power plant in the same way as a conventional power plant. VestasOnline® Business enables you to optimise production levels, monitor performance and produce detailed, tailored reports from anywhere in the world while the system’s power plant controller provides active and reactive power regulation, power ramping and voltage control. Surveillance, maintenance and service Vestas provides 24/7 monitoring, performance reporting and predictive maintenance systems to improve turbine uptime, production and availability. Operating a large wind power plant today calls for highly efficient management strategies, to ensure that power production is uninterrupted and that operational and maintenance expenses are controlled. The ability to predict when critical components are most likely to break down is essential to this effort, as it helps to avoid costly emergency repairs and unscheduled interruptions to energy production. The Vestas Condition Monitoring System performs this predictive maintenance function, assessing the status of the turbine by analysing measured signals such as vibrations and temperatures (e.g. in gearbox bearings and the main bearings). For example, by measuring the vibration of the drive train, the system can detect faults at an early stage and monitor the progress of the damage. This information allows the service organisation to plan and execute the required maintenance work before the component fails, reducing repair costs and production loss. What’s more, our Active Output Management® concept provides detailed plans for service and maintenance, online monitoring, optimisation and troubleshooting, and includes a competitive insurance scheme. It is even possible to get a full availability guarantee, under which Vestas pays compensation if the turbine fails to meet the agreed availability targets.2011-03-30T16:45:33+02:00http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Communication/Productbrochure/V9030MW/V9030MWUK/?Page=10http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Communication/Productbrochure/V9030MW/V9030MWUK/?Page=10V90-3.0 MW Facts and figures POWER REGULATION pitch regulated with variable speed OPERATING DATA Rated power Cut-in wind speed Rated wind speed Cut-out wind speed Re-cut in wind speed Wind class Operating temperature range GEARBOX Type TOWER Type Hub heights two planetary stages and one helical stage 3.0 MW 3.5 m/s 15 m/s 25 m/s 20 m/s IEC IA and IEC IIA standard range: -20˚C to 40˚C low temperature option: -30˚C to 40˚C tubular steel tower 65 m and 80 m (IEC IA) 105 m (IEC IIA) BLADE DIMENSIONS Length Max. chord NACELLE DIMENSIONS Height for transport Length Width HUB DIMENSIONS Max. diameter Max. width Length Max. weight per unit for transportation 44 m 3.5 m SOUND POWER (Mode 0, 10 m above ground, hub height 80 m, air density 1,225 kg/m³) 4 m/s 97.9 dB (A) 5 m/s 100.9 dB (A) 6 m/s 104.2 dB (A) 7 m/s 106.1 dB (A) 8 m/s 107.0 dB (A) 9 m/s 106.9 dB (A) ROTOR Rotor diameter Swept area Nominal revolutions Operational interval Air brake 4m 9.65 m 3.65 m (3.85 m installed) 3.6 m 4.2 m 4.4 m 70 metric tonnes 90 m 6,362 m² 16.1 rpm 8.6 - 18.4 rpm full blade feathering with 3 pitch cylinders ELECTRICAL Frequency Generator type 50/60 Hz 4-pole doubly fed generator2011-03-30T16:45:33+02:00http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Communication/Productbrochure/V9030MW/V9030MWUK/?Page=11http://nozebra.ipapercms.dk/Vestas/Communication/Productbrochure/V9030MW/V9030MWUK/?Page=11+20,000 committed, highly-trained employees around the globe are always ready to help in any aspect of wind power production.
