MHI Vestas has unveiled the first ever 10 MW wind turbine. The upgrades ensure that MHI Vestas can run the V164-10.0 MW at full power, at a site with wind speeds of 10 metres per second, for 25 years. The up to 10 -10.0 MW turbine is based on the company's V164 MW model. Moving up to 10 MW meant incorporating a stronger gearbox, minor mechanical upgrades and a design alteration to improve air flow and increase cooling in the converter. The new turbine, which will be available for commercial installation from 2021 , will be able to run on full power for 2021 , MHI Vestas Chief Technology said.
