Specifications Overview
The document details specifications and features of various Vestas wind turbine models, each designed for specific wind classes and operational conditions.
Specifications
  • Power Regulation: All models use pitch regulation with variable speed.
  • Operating Data: Rated power ranges from 3,450kW to 4,500kW. Cut-in wind speed is consistently 3m/s, with varying cut-out and re cut-in speeds depending on the model.
  • Sound Power: Maximum sound levels range from 103.9dB(A) to 108.4dB(A), with sound-optimized modes available.
  • Rotor: Rotor diameters range from 117m to 163m, with swept areas from 10,751m² to 20,867m².
  • Electrical: All models operate at 50/60Hz with full-scale converters.
  • Gearbox: Each turbine features two planetary stages and one helical stage.
  • Tower Heights: Vary by model and wind class, ranging from 82m to 166m.
  • Nacelle and Blade Dimensions: Nacelle dimensions are consistent across models, while blade lengths vary from 57.2m to 80.1m.
Turbine Options
Common options include high wind operation, power and load optimized modes, condition monitoring systems, service personnel lifts, ice detection and de-icing systems, fire suppression, shadow detection, bat protection systems, aviation lights and markings, and low-temperature operation capabilities.
Sustainability
  • Carbon Footprint: Ranges from 4.4g CO2e/kWh to 7.3g CO2e/kWh.
  • Return on Energy: Break-even periods range from 4.8 to 7.6 months, with lifetime returns on energy ranging from 21 to 50 times.
  • Recyclability Rate: Varies from 82.8% to 98.5% depending on the model and stage of recycling.
Annual Energy Production
Graphs indicate energy production potential at various average wind speeds, highlighting the efficiency of each model under different conditions.
Assumptions
Calculations assume one wind turbine with 100% availability, 0% losses, and standard air density.
