Vestas to provide turbines for 48MW wind project in China

China-based Longyuan Power has selected Vestas to supply wind turbines for its 48MW wind project located in the Hanjiang Baihe wind park in Putian County, Fujian Province.

Vestas will provide 24 units of the V90 wind turbines each with a generating capacity of 2.0MW.

The V90-2.0MW wind turbines can not only generate high output of electricity even under low wind conditions but also can resist strong winds.

Vestas China president Jens Tommerup said the company started developing projects together with Longyuan in 2004.

"Given our strong track record with the V80-2.0 MW turbines, we are pleased to have won the second Longyuan project using our V90 turbines, which are specifically equipped with a yaw backup system that enhances the protection of the turbines during typhoons," Tommerup added.

"Upon completion of this project, our installed base with Longyuan, China’s most experienced developer, will have reached almost 330 MW in Fujian province."

Under the contract, the company will also install, supervise and commission the turbines, supply a Vestas Online SCADA system and render a three-year service and maintenance agreement.

The company has repeatedly verified the performance and reliability of the V90-2.0 MW turbine by conducting thorough wind resource analyses.

Vestas develops, manufactures, installs and maintains wind power plant solutions.

Longyuan Power is the wind power producer mainly engaged in designing, developing, managing and operating wind power plants, and selling the electricity generated by its plants.
