The V105-3.3MW has the same nacelle, hub and drive train technology as the V112-3MW. It features a 105m rotor and a 72.5m tubular steel tower.
The 51.5m blades are also developed from the same technology as the 55m blades from the V112-3MW.
Vestas chief technology officer Anders Vedel said that the company is continuously optimizing its product portfolio to meet customer and market requirements.
"The V105-3.3MW has been optimized to meet the need for customers developing projects in markets with tip height restrictions such as the UK and Ireland," Vedel added.
"It will also increase annual energy production by up to 22% in IEC 1A conditions compared to the V90-3MW, resulting in greater revenue for our customers."
The prototype will be installed in Hovsore, Denmark in the second quarter of 2014 and the first serial delivery is expected at the end of 2014.
"Building on the technology of the existing 3MW platform to develop the V105-3.3MW means customers looking to develop projects on sites with tip height restrictions can gain confidence from the long track record of the technology, as Vestas has sold over 4.5GW and installed almost 2GW of the 3 MW platform around the world," Vedel further said.
