Improved blade efficiency
Aerodynamic Upgrades improve the aerodynamic performance of the rotor blades, boosting annual energy production (AEP) by up to 2%. Aerodynamic Upgrades are available for a range of Vestas platforms, as well as an extensive list of multibrand turbines.
The technology consists of Vortex Generators, which aid lift creation around the blades. This translates into a better aerodynamic performance during the turbine’s partial load operation. The AEP improvement is therefore captured on the slope of the power curve, when the turbine operates below rated power.
To know more about how Aerodynamic Upgrades can improve your business case, check out our case study featuring ENGIE Deutschland and our whitepaper, which goes into depth with the technology.
Reap the benefits of high wind speeds
Vestas has developed Extended Cut Out, which allows turbines to operate beyond their original cut out speeds to capture the full potential of strong winds.
By increasing the cut out wind speed, Extended Cut Out can generally deliver an Annual Energy Production improvement of up to 3%, and even up to 5-7% at sites with very advantageous climatic conditions.
Read more about the results we have already delivered for other wind parks in our case study, or download our product sheet for a quick overview of the upgrade.
Smarter operation with intelligent algorithms
To help turbine owners uncover and realise the uncaptured energy, Vestas has developed a range of smart algorithms to help the turbine make better decisions. Improved measurements of wind speed, wind direction, and optimal yaw alignment enable theturbine to act smarter and thereby become more effective.
Moreover, our algorithmic features allow for smarter use of power boosts as well as allowing the turbine to exploit low air-density climatic conditions to operate in high winds.
Increase nominal power for a higher yield
Power Uprate is designed to increase the nominal power of your turbine, allowing you to use its full capacity. An increased annual energy production of up to 4% can be achieved, proving an opportunity to significantly improve the performance of your fleet.
A site-specific analysis, using proprietary tools and certified processes, is always conducted to assess how the rated power of your turbine can be increased to maximise output, without affecting the original design.
Rotor Upgrade
Our Rotor Upgrade offering enhances turbines by installing larger rotors and blades, increasing wind capture for up to 15% higher energy production.
LifePlus™
We offer lifelong service partnerships through LifePlus™, providing tailored lifetime extension programmes to maximise your investment. Combine these programs with other Vestas services like AOM® contracts and PowerPlus™ upgrades for even greater returns.

TurbinePlus™
Boost wind turbine availability and energy production with TurbinePlus™ upgrades. Divided into three categories, these upgrades enhance efficiency, ensure regulatory compliance and bolster turbine protection, bringing your assets up to date.
TurbinePlus™ - Efficiency
With our efficiency upgrades you can improve the availability of your turbines. The various upgrades ensure smooth and optimal operations under all conditions.
TurbinePlus™ - Protection
With our protection upgrades you can reduce the risk of damage to your turbines from external influences. The different upgrades help to prevent expensive repairs and downtime, while ensuring turbine operations.
TurbinePlus™ - Compliance
With our compliance upgrades you can ensure even better compliance with site-specific regulations, in most cases improving the availability of your turbine for production. In other cases it will minimize the environmental impact of your turbine.
