The
new
V126-3.0MW
machine,
which
will
have
a
126-metre-diameter
rotor
–
creating
a
swept
area
27%
greater
than
the
workhorse
V112-3.0MW
–
will
feature
blades
based
on
a
cost-cutting
structural
shell
concept.
The
design
of
the
62-metre
blades
is
calculated
to
"halve
the
capital
investment
in
new
production
lines
[and]
improve
flexibility
in
manufacturing",
according
to
Vestas.
“The
rotor
swept
area
of
the
new
V126-3.0MW
wind
turbine
has
been
increased
and
the
turbine
is
specifically
designed
to
yield
maximum
power
production
on
low
wind
sites,"
says
Anders
Vedel,
executive
vice
president…
