Abstract: A first aspect of the invention provides a method of testing a yaw system (200) of a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a rotor; the yaw system (200) comprising a yaw gear (202) coupled to the rotor so that rotation of the yaw gear (202) causes yaw rotation of the rotor, and first and second sub-systems (204a, 204b), the first sub-system (204a) comprising a first pinion gear (206a) and a first drive motor (208a) coupled to the yaw gear (202) by the first pinion gear (206a), the second sub-system (204b) comprising a second pinion gear (206b) and a second drive motor (208b) coupled to the yaw gear (202) by the second pinion gear (206b). The method comprises the steps of: testing the first sub-system (204a) by: applying a first yaw moment to the yaw gear (202) with the second drive motor (208b) via the second pinion gear (206b), reacting the first yaw moment with the first pinion gear (206a), monitoring a yaw motion parameter indicative of rotation of the yaw gear (202), and determining a condition of the first sub-system (204a) based on the monitored yaw motion parameter.

Abstract: A logistics system for a multirotor wind turbine (1) is disclosed. The multirotor wind turbine (1) comprises two or more energy generating units (4), each mounted on an arm (3) extending from a tower (2) of the multirotor wind turbine (1). A transport system (14, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36) interconnects a lower interior part of the tower (2) with each of the energy generating units (4). A plurality of transport containers (15) is connectable to the transport system (14, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36) and configured to hold equipment (26) to be transported. A control unit is configured to receive information regarding contents and position of the transport containers (15), and to plan transport of the transport containers (15) via the transport system (14, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36), based on a service plan for the multirotor wind turbine (1).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine (1). The wind turbine (1) comprises one or more wind turbine blades (5), each wind turbine blade (5) being connected to a blade carrying structure (4) mounted on a hub (3), via a hinge (6) at a hinge position of the wind turbine blade (5), each wind turbine blade (5) thereby being arranged to perform pivot movements relative to the blade carrying structure (4) between a minimum pivot angle and a maximum pivot angle. The method comprises the steps of detecting an airborne object entering a predefined zone around the wind turbine (1), comparing a current tip height (H) of the wind turbine (1) to a maximum tip height value, the maximum tip height value representing a maximum allowable tip height under currently prevailing conditions. In the case that the current tip height (H) exceeds the maximum tip height value, a pivot angle (P) of wind turbine blades (5) is adjusted in order to decrease the tip height (H) of the wind turbine (1) to a value below the maximum tip height value.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of a number of airborne wind energy systems arranged in a wind energy park, where each airborne wind energy system comprising a wind engaging member being coupled to a ground station via a cable. The method comprises determining a wind speed and a wind direction and the determination over a time interval of a number of positions of the wind engaging member of a first airborne wind energy system. Based on these determined parameters and on a predetermined wake angle, a wake corridor of the wind engaging member is determined, and used in the controlling of a second airborne wind energy system positioned in a downwind direction relative to the first airborne wind energy system. The controlling comprises steering the wind engaging member of the second airborne wind energy system into a position outside at least a first part of the wake corridor of the first airborne wind energy system.
