The V163-4.5 MW™ is an evolutionary optimisation step based on the V150-4.2 MW™ and the V150-4.5 MW™ - some of our most popular turbine models for medium and lower wind segments. Featuring an 18 percent increase in swept area, the V163-4.5 MW™ has a large rotor-size-to-rating ratio resulting in a higher capacity factor, leading to up to 10 percent higher Annual Energy Production at park level depending on site-specific conditions.
This increases power output at lower wind speeds significantly and improves predictability and stability in production, optimising the utilisation of the wind park as well as benefitting the energy grid.
