Vestas V136-4.2 MW™ Extreme Climate Onshore Offshore Wind Turbine
Vestas V136-4.2 MW™ Extreme Climate Onshore Offshore Wind Turbine
The V136-4.2 MW™ is designed for low to medium wind sites and offers a competitive sound power level.
It boosts performance by 11 percent compared to V136-3.45 MW®, and with 103.9 dB(A) max sound power level, it enables permitting and project realization in sound critical areas.
V136-4.2 MW™ Extreme Climate
The V136-4.2 MW™ Extreme Climate offers maximum energy production in low to medium wind speeds, while being designed for extreme weather conditions. It is capable of withstanding extreme average wind speeds of 53m/s (exceeding IEC class I extreme wind speed). Based on the proven V136-4.2 MW™, the Extreme Climate variant features an enforced hub and blade design, and it is applicable both onshore and offshore.
