Vestas has signed an agreement with Mita-Teknik to market controller upgrades for wind turbines in North America, including the V47 turbine. With a vision to be the industry’s preferred fleet-wide service partner, Vestas is determined to develop innovative service solutions for both old and new turbines.
As the wind-turbine industry progresses with a rapid pace, it is critical that older turbines are equipped to meet today’s performance standards. Increased demands for competitive power production means that older turbines such as the V47 need to catch up with advancements in wind-power technology.
Vestas’ new controller upgrade enables several performance enhancing upgrades, lifetime extension solutions, as well as improved monitoring and data collection. The upgrade has been developed in partnership with Mita-Teknik, a leader within wind turbine control systems.
Mita-Teknik’s technological expertise and commercial maturity has proven to be a strong fit for Vestas’ vision to provide excellent service to their customers. By joining forces, Vestas and Mita-Teknik combine innovative controller systems with PowerPlus upgrades to offer customers a competitive business case for upgrading existing assets.
The Power Uprate can be installed to bring the nominal power from 660 to 710 kW, representing an AEP improvement up to 4.5%. Extended Cut Out can be installed to increase the cut out speed from 56 to 63 mph, delivering an AEP gain of over 1%.
Upgrading the controller also enables LifePlus solutions. The first Vestas V47 turbines are nearing the end of their original design life of 20 years. LifePlus is a life extension solution that lets V47 turbines operate beyond original design life and fleet owners to benefit from additional years of revenue.
With the options to increase the nominal power and ensure operation beyond design life, the controller upgrade is one element of our overall refurbishment solution for those looking into repowering their current assets to obtain PTC extension. Vestas’ rapidly growing service business is built on cutting-edge technology application and a dedication to offer customers the best and most efficient service solutions in the market.
Together with Mita-Teknik, Vestas has developed an innovative solution to improve the business case of V47 owners, once again demonstrating our commitment to support our customers throughout the lifetime of their fleet.
