Danish company Vestas has introduced the EnVentus wind turbine platform, which will available in two variants, the V162-5.6 MW and V150-5.6MW.

The V162 and V150 will be available globally and will be added to Vestas’ current 2 and 4MW platform turbines. Both turbines can cover low, medium and high wind conditions and feature a full-scale converter which will allow them to meet different grid requirements around the world.

The V162-5.6MW will have a swept area of 20,000m2 and produce 26% higher annual production than Vestas’ current V150-4.2MW model.

The V150-5.6MW will use Vestas’ current 150m rotor blades and apply them to higher wind speeds, increasing annual energy production potential by 30% compared with its predecessor the V136-4.2MW.

The V150 will be available first, installed in the second half of 2019 with production scheduled for mid-2020. Vestas expects the V162 to be installed in mid-2020, with production scheduled for the end of that year.
