Vestas V150-4.2 MW™ Onshore Wind Turbine
Vestas V150-4.2 MW™ Onshore Wind Turbine
The V150-4.2 MW™ offers a very high capacity factor, optimising production at low wind sites.
Its high capacity factor leads to a 21 percent increase in annual energy production compared to the V136-3.45 MW®, representing one of the highest producing onshore low wind turbines within the 4 MW platform, while achieving a sound power level of only 104.9 dB(A) to serve sound-sensitive regions.
Available options
- Power Optimised Mode up to 4.2 MW (site specific)
- Load Optimised Mode down to 3.6 MW
- Condition Monitoring System
- Service Personnel Lift
- Vestas Ice Detection
- Low Temperature Operation to -30°C
- Fire Suppression
- Vestas Shadow Flicker Control System
- Vestas Bat Protection System
- Nacelle Hatch for Air Inlet
- Aviation Lights
- Aviation Markings on the Blades
