Truly best of class
The V100-1.8 MW brings together the very best of the 2.0 MW
class in a single turbine designed for low wind onshore sites. It
features a greater rotor diameter, enabling it to deliver higher
output at low wind speeds.
A WorKhorse of UnriVAled AVAilABilitY
Because of this, the V100-1.8 MW delivers excellent return
on investment, even at sites where wind power plants have
not previously been profitable. These sites can now be used to
produce clean, stable, sustainable and competitive energy.
Unrivalled availability under any conditions
We’ve made extensive use of our experience with the 2.0 MW
class in designing the V100-1.8 MW, producing a turbine that
delivers market-leading availability.
The V100-1.8 MW features a modular design, with several
turbines sharing innovative, high-performance technology. Our
turbines in this class boast a rugged design, grid compliance
and high, thoroughly documented performance. Vestas has
installed more than 5,000 2.0 MW turbines since 2003 at
highly diverse wind sites around the globe. They’ve proved their
solid performance both onshore and offshore, and they have
a long track record of documented high availability even in the
most extreme conditions.

Mature technology, stable revenue
The V100-1.8 MW is based on a mature, reliable design
platform. This enables the V100-1.8 MW to deliver high, stable
revenue at low wind sites, where it hasn’t previously been
possible to harvest wind power so efficiently. Furthermore, the
turbine has been designed around a large number of standard
components that several suppliers can provide, improving
overall reliability and high availability of the turbine.
Enhanced safety and maintenance
The V100-1.8 MW is designed for reliability, safety and
convenient maintenance. All rotating parts are shielded, and all
the components are positioned to minimise service time and
manpower, no matter what service task is involved.
The V100-1.8 MW offers a number of features that boost
reliability and serviceability, including ingenious solutions for
lubricating key components such as the blade-bearing system
and the yaw system.
Flexible grid integration and stable output
Vestas products, such as the V100-1.8 MW, are designed so
that your wind park will be fully compliant with applicable grid
codes at the point of common coupling. How this is achieved
may differ from country to country, but generally, the Vestas
advanced grid compliance system provides active and reactive
power regulation, frequency regulation and fault ride-through
capabilities to support grid levels and stability in the event of
grid disturbances.
Can be installed almost anywhere
The V100-1.8 MW complies with all the standard limits for
weight, width and height. It can be transported to most sites in
the world without being subject to special fees and restrictions
that can delay or increase the cost of wind power plant
construction.
Next-generation software
The V100-1.8 MW is equipped with the latest turbine control
and operation software, a state-of-the-art modular software
platform developed to run the next generation of Vestas
turbines.
Special options
The V100-1.8 MW is available with a number of special options
that ensure compliance with local requirements. These options
include:
· Condition monitoring system
· Switchgear
· Aviation markings on the blades
· Aviation lights
· Company logo
· Low temperature operation to –30°C
· Ice detection system

Market-leading aerodynamics
The tried and tested blades on the V100-1.8 MW sweep an
area of 7,850 m2 and deliver an outstanding rotor-to-generator
ratio. This adds up to higher capacity and yield, compared to
other turbines in the 2 MW class.
The 49-metre blades have proven their worth since 2006, and
have been subjected to static and dynamic testing, as well as
being type-certified by Det Norske Veritas.
CoolerTop™ saves energy
The environmentally friendly CoolerTop™ is yet another example
of the V100-1.8 MW’s state-of-the-art technology. It cools
the water used in the turbine’s cooling system by channelling
wind into the heat exchanger. This boosts reliability, not
least by reducing the number of moving parts and electrical
components in the cooling system, and it reduces the turbine’s
own energy consumption.

Verified component lifetime
At the Vestas Testing Centre and Technology R&D, engineering
experts and technicians use state-of-the-art testing methods
to ensure that all components and systems meet our standards
for safety, performance and reliability throughout their 20-year
service life. These tests push the components beyond their
specifications. One method is known as Highly Accelerated
Life Testing, where some of the testing is conducted in a HALT
chamber. Extreme fluctuations in temperatures combined
with heavy vibrations are just some of the stress tests the
components are subjected to here. This enables Vestas to
identify and address design flaws long before the turbines reach
the market.
Surveillance 24/7/365
Our surveillance services are manned 24/7 all year round to
provide real-time surveillance, remote troubleshooting and
other services. These services can also detect potential errors
and disruptions before they occur, as data from your turbines
is gathered and analysed. This enables us to prepare a plan
for preventative maintenance, saving you from unexpected
production stops and costly downtime.
Service and maintenance
Vestas has service centres around the globe and we are able
to cover your every need, from simple cleaning and planned
maintenance to emergency call-outs and on-site inventories
customised for your turbines.
Asset management and operation risk mitigation
Your wind turbines have to be maintained with great care to
avoid exposing your investment to unnecessary risks. And
that is exactly what Active Output Management is designed
to ensure – that you get the greatest possible return on your
investment in a Vestas wind turbine.
AOM provides a number of advantages, such as detailed plans
for service and maintenance, online monitoring, optimisation
and troubleshooting, and a competitive insurance scheme.
We even offer a full availability guarantee, where Vestas pays
compensation if the turbine fails to meet the agreed availability
targets.
Project management for effective plants
The better your turbines fit your wind site, the more profitable
your plant will be. That’s why Vestas offers to take on project
management from the initial wind measurements to complete
installation of the wind power plant. More than 30 years of
international experience and local expertise enable us to
complete:
· Wind and site studies
· Designing the wind power project
· Selecting wind turbine types
· Installing the wind farm
· Servicing and maintenance throughout the turbine’s service life
· Monitoring and remote troubleshooting.
