V117-4.2 MW™ is designed for medium to high wind speeds, and it boosts performance by 13 percent compared to V117-3.45 MW.
Applying the existing upgraded gearbox from V136-3.45 MW and V126-3.45 MW Htq, the V117-4.2 MW™ is able to withstand extreme wind conditions, making new sites possible for wind energy projects.
4 MW
The Vestas 4 MW platform sets new standards for onshore wind performance within regimes ranging from very strong wind and typhoon conditions to ultra low wind.
61 Countries
The Vestas 4 MW platform has been installed in 61 countries since 2010.
+88 GW
The performance and versatility of the 4 MW platform has been proven with more than 88 GW installed since 2010.
