The nacelle for Vestas’ 15MW prototype has arrived at the Østerild National Test Centre in Denmark.
The nacelle, assembled at the Vestas factory in Lindø, was shipped from Port of Odense to Hanstholm, where it was trucked to the test site.
The V236-15.0MW prototype installation at Østerild Test Centre is well underway, with all tower sections already installed, the turbine manufacturer added.
During the initial period of operations, Vestas will collect data needed to obtain a Type Certificate, a key step in reaching serial production of the turbine in 2024.
