The V136-3.45 MW turbine is the newest variant of the 3MW platform. Designed for low-wind site performance, the V136-3.45 MW combines Vestas’ largest onshore rotor diameter and the Vestas-patented Large Diameter Steel Tower technology.
It enables Vestas to increase annual energy production by more than 10 per cent compared to the V126-3.3 MW. The first V136-3.45 MW turbine is expected to be installed at the Østerild national test center for large turbines in northwestern Denmark during 2016. It is expected to be ready for serial production in the second half of 2017.
