Vestas Power Solutions is where new product ideas are developed, matured, improved and tested. To put it short, we are shaping the future of modern energy and we operate on a global scale with more than 1,300 employees.
As a part of Vestas Power Solutions, the Load & Control Platform department is one of the key areas in creating the products of tomorrow. In a strong corporation with our internal product owner, we balance the trade-offs between power production and loading, while introducing new rotors, ultimately leading to the most competitive new products introduced to the market. The main deliveries from the department are loading envelope to other component groups as well as commercial power performance documentation directly supporting Vestas’ position in the market. Another key delivery is the overall control strategy for the turbines, ensuring optimal operation of a highly dynamic system.

Currently, the department consists of 19 highly skilled and motivated engineers situated in Aarhus, with sister departments in Porto, Portugal (20 engineers) and Chennai, India (18 engineers). Given the size of Vestas, we have the privilege that employees can deep dive into details and perfect the know-how of the tasks at hand.
