Danish wind turbine maker Vestas has accomplished the primary native hub-nacelle meeting and testing of the V174 offshore wind turbine nacelle at its manufacturing unit in Taichung Port, Taiwan.
Following the entire native meeting of hub elements in 2023, Vestas has, for the primary time, completed the merging and testing of nacelles and hubs in Taiwan, the corporate mentioned in a current social media submit.
In 2020, Vestas signed an settlement with Taiwan’s Yeong Guan Power Expertise Group (YGG) to supply extra elements for the manufacturing of V174 generators that are set to be put in in Taiwan. The settlement covers rotor hubs, hub plates, and nacelle base frames.
Two years later, Vestas, along with its associate Ten Li Offshore Wind Expertise, produced the primary V174-9.5 MW blade at its amenities in Taiwan. The blade was put in on the Changfang and Xidao offshore wind venture.
In November final yr, Vestas accomplished the meeting of the rotor hub for the V174 wind turbine.
Upon completion of testing and delivery, the merged nacelle and hub from the meeting facility will make its debut in essentially the most localised offshore wind farms in Taiwan, Vestas mentioned.
Other than Changfang and Xidao, the localised V174- 9.5MW generators will probably be deployed on the 300 MW Taipower Offshore Wind Challenge Section II (TPC Changhua Section II), and the V174- 9.6MW mannequin will probably be used on the 298 MW Zhong Neng offshore wind farm.
