Vestas introduced the 3.0 MW turbine in 2002. Today, we have already installed more than 500 V90-3.0 wind turbines around the world, and every day we install more.
Every aspect of the design of the V90-3.0 MW turbine has been rethought with the aim of reducing the cost per kWh. The lighter the turbine, the lower the cost of production, materials, transport and installation. These are the reasons why weight reduction has high priority in turbine development.
Despite the larger rotor and generator, the V90-3.0 MW weighs less than the V80-2.0 MW turbine. The V90 introduces a lighter, stronger tower and a ground-breaking nacelle design which produces more power from less weight. The blade structure, which is different from previous blade technologies, incorporates both new materials and a revised blade profile design.
