The Vestas V90-2MW is a three bladed upwind horizontal axis wind turbine designed and manufactured by Vestas specifically for the light wind regimes of continental Europe. Essentially it is a V80 with a larger rotor (giving 27% more swept area than the V80), although incorporating a number of the new innovations from the V90-3MW especially in blade and tower technology.

The design follows what is now considered a contemporary design in wind turbine technology, using a doubly fed induction generator in conjunction with pitch control system to allow for variable speed operation.
