Vestas has launched the
latest variant of its 3-mw
wind turbine, V126-3.0
mw, mainly targeting the
European markets. The
platform is the one on which the
older V112-3.0 mw is built.
Vestas will continue to optimise
this platform in order to offer
further options to customers.
The new V126-3.0 mw
turbine has a rotor diameter of
126m to target low wind
conditions (i.e. wind class IEC
III) and features a structural
shell blade design. The wellknown
blade design halves the
capital investment in new
production lines, improves
flexibility in manufacturing,
and at the same time maintains
the reliability and high quality
of Vestas' turbines.
In August 2010, Vestas
released the first turbine in its
new 3-mw platform, the V112-
3.0 mw turbine, which has been
very well received by the
market, resulting in an intake of
firm and unconditional orders of
more than 3 GW since the
release.
