Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has acquired a kind certificates for its V236-15.0 MW offshore wind turbine.
The prototype was put in on the Østerild Nationwide check centre for giant wind generators in Western Jutland, Denmark in December 2022.
Three months later, the wind turbine reached its nominal energy score of 15 MW. In August, the unit set a world file for probably the most energy output by a single wind turbine in 24 hours, producing 363 megawatt-hours in that interval.
“The kind certificates is a pivotal milestone. It proves that the V236-15.0 MW is prepared for industrial use, guaranteeing security, high quality, and compliance with rules,” stated Anne Vedel, Senior VP, Product Options & Integration at Vestas.
