Question

I am trying to estimate the permament loads due to a wind turbine. The wind turbine is a vestas 105-3.45 MW. How do I estimate the weight of the tower, blades and nacelle?

Answer 1

With a rotor size of 105 m, the V105-3.45 MW, IEC IA is the turbine that fits the most severe wind conditions. It has an extremely robust design for tough site conditions and is especially suited for markets with tip-height restrictions and high grid requirements.

The V105-3.45 MW blade is a shortened version of the proven and tested pre-preg blade used on the V112-3.0 MW , the V112-3.45 MW and the V117-3.45 MW. Like all 4 MW turbines, the V105-3.45 MW is equipped with a full-scale converter ensuring full compliance with the challenging grid codes in countries like the UK and Ireland.
