NEW: horizontal-axis wind turbine by Vestas

V136-3.45 MW™ combines Vestas' most advanced aerofoil design to date with the proven 3 MW nacelle and Large Diameter Steel Tower (LDST) technology, to deliver high and efficient energy production in low wind conditions.

The aerofoil design, applied to the 66.7m long blades, enables a 10 percent* increase in annual energy production while at the same time minimising structural loads. Advanced aerodynamics, particularly at the blade tips, decrease the max noise emission level relative to current designs.

Vestas has 15 years of experience optimising carbon blade application, and the V136-3.45 MW™ benefits from advanced use of carbon pultrusions, resulting in light-weight, highly robust blades with optimal performance. The industry leading lightning protection system and highly accelerated lifetime testing ensure high product reliability.
