V136-3.45 MW®

V136-3.45 MW® combines advanced aerofoil design with the proven 4 MW nacelle and Large Diameter Steel Tower (LDST) technology, to deliver high and efficient energy production in low- and medium-wind conditions.

The aerofoil design, applied to the 66.7m long blades, enables a 16 percent* increase in annual energy production while at the same time minimising structural loads. Advanced aerodynamics, particularly at the blade tips, and aero add-ons such as Serrated Trailing Edges decrease the maximum noise emission level.

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.

Supported by focused design and optimisation activities, the V136-3.45 MW® is now capable of operating in both IEC IIIA and IEC IIB wind conditions.

With the IEC IIB classification of the V136-3.45 MW®, the turbine is now covering an even broader range of wind and site conditions, where the 136 m rotor enables great wind capture, at medium-wind conditions.

This makes the V136-3.45 MW® turbine a strong performer with the potential to increase AEP by up to 16 %*, contributing to a lower LCoE.

The V136-3.45 MW® as an IEC IIB turbine is already being applied to medium-wind conditions for projects in North America and Asia, giving our customers the possibility of choosing the V136-3.45 MW® turbine’s compelling balance between advanced technology and proven performance.
