Vestas 3MW Platform Update Warwick Heaney, Technical Bid Manager Brazil and Mexico

The power of data Vestas applies learnings from 27,000 WTGs worldwide to deliver quality products, world-class siting capabilities, and maintenance.

15%

Almost 15% of the total global accumulated installed base under surveillance

PRODUCT DESIGN

Data is the fundamental prerequisite for a design life of 20+ years

VALIDATION TESTING

Data ensures that accelerated lifetime simulations on key components are as realistic as possible

PROJECT SITING

Data enables siting to optimise component loads and production

SOURCING & PRODUCTION

Data ensures that the most significant CtQs (critical-to-quality) are thoroughly managed in manufacturing

OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE

Data allows us to (through condition monitoring) implement timely predictive maintenance, thereby minimising lost production

Turbines under surveillance feed back data to the rest of Vestas value chain

Knowing wind better than anyone else translates into superior products and

capabilities

Data turned into insights via the Vestas supercomputer Firestorm
