Vestas secures 134 MW wind turbine order from Invenergy in Japan

By

Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has won a 134 MW order from Invenergy for Japan’s Inaniwa Wind Energy Center in Iwate prefecture. This marks Vestas’ largest order in Japan to date. The company will supply and install 32 of its V117-4.2 MW turbines, along with a 20-year Active Output Management 5000 (AOM 5000) service agreement. Deliveries are set to begin in the first half of 2027, with project commissioning expected in the first quarter of…

Guide to Wind Turbines: Technical Considerations and Insights

By

At the heart of a wind turbine’s efficiency lies its design. The aerodynamic performance of the blades directly impacts power output. Modern blade designs incorporate advanced materials like carbon fibre-reinforced composites, enhancing durability while reducing weight. These materials improve load distribution across the rotor, allowing for larger blades and thus, greater energy capture. The challenge lies in balancing blade length with structural integrity. Longer blades generate more energy but exert greater forces on the tower…
