How does our technology generate more energy? More power for every wind site The V117-3.45 MW®, V117-4.2 MW™, V126- 3.45 MW®, V136-3.45 MW®, V136-4.2 MW™, V136 -4.5 MW™, V150- 4.2 MW™ and the V150-4.5 MW™ are available with several Sound Optimised Modes to meet sound level restrictions with an optimised production. The power system enables superior grid support, and it is capable of maintaining production across severe drops in grid voltage, while simultaneously minimising tower and foundation loads. It also allows rapid down- rating of production to 10 percent nominal power. Proven technologies - from the company that invented them The 4 MW platform is a low-risk choice. It is based on proven technologies that underpin more than 88,000 Vestas’ turbines installed around the world. Using the best features from across the range, as well as some of the industry’s most stringently tested components and systems, the platform’s reliable design minimises downtime – helping to give you the best possible return on your investment. With an operating range that covers all wind classes, our 4 MW platform delivers unrivalled energy production. The proven blade technology from the V112-3.0 MW® is used on the V117-3.45 MW® and the V117-4.2 MW™. The industry known structural shell blades are used on the V126-3.45 MW®, V136-3.45 MW®, V136- 4.2 MW™, V136-4.5 MW™, V150-4.2 MW™, V150-4.5 MW™ and the V163-4.5 MW™ - a technology which is also used on the 2 MW V110-2.0 MW® and the V120- 2.2 MW™ variants. Reliable and robust The Vestas Test Centre is unrivalled in the wind industry. We test most nacelle components using accelerated life testing under mixed and aggregated environmental conditions. For critical components, Highly Accelerated Life Testing (HALT) identifies potential failure modes and mechanisms. Specialised test rigs ensure strength and robustness for the gearbox, generator, yaw and pitch system, lubrication system and accumulators. Our quality-control system ensures that each component is manufactured to design specifications and performs at site. We systematically monitor measurement trends that are critical to quality, locating defects before they occur. Options available for the 4 MW platform An option is an extra feature that can be added to the turbine to suit a project’s specific needs. By adding options to the standard turbine, we can enhance the performance and adaptability of the wind power project and facilitate a shorter permitting cycle at restricted sites. The options can even be a decisive factor in realising your specific project, and the business case certainty of the investment. Here is a list of the options available for the 4 MW platform: Power Optimised Modes Load Optimised Modes Condition Monitoring System Service Personnel Lift Vestas Ice Detection Vestas De-Icing Vestas Anti-Icing System™ Low Temperature Operation to - 30°C Fire Suppression Shadow Flicker Control System Vestas Bat Protection System Aviation Lights Aviation Markings on the Blades Vestas InteliLight™ Nacelle Hatch for Air Inlet
