Abstract: The invention relates to a method for lifting a component (1a, 1b) of a multirotor wind turbine (100) from an initial position to an operating position. The initial position is near a base (2a) of a tower structure (2) of the wind turbine (100) while the operating position is arranged at a distance from the tower structure (2), on a load carrying structure (3) connected to the tower structure (2) and extending away from the tower structure (2). By operating a first hoisting mechanism provided at or near a connecting point between the tower structure (2) and a load carrying structure (3), and a second hoisting mechanism provided at or near the operating position, the component (1a, 1b) is moved from the initial position to the operating position along a predetermined path. The component (1a, 1b) is finally mounted on the load carrying structure (3) at the operating position.

Abstract: A wind turbine system comprising a plurality of wind turbines mounted to a support structure including a tower, wherein each of the plurality of wind turbines includes a rotor and a power generation system driven by the rotor, and at least one of a rotor blade pitch adjustment means and a generator power control means. The system further includes control means that receives vibration data associated with the support structure and which is configured to determine a damping control command for a respective one of the plurality of wind turbines, wherein the or each of the wind turbines includes a damping controller that receives a damping control command and which is operable to apply a damping control input to one or both of the blade pitch adjustment means and the generator power control means so as to counteract the measured vibration of the support structure. A benefit of the invention is that the operation of the multiple turbines of the system is used to reduce the effects of structural vibration by damping that vibration in an active manner.

Abstract: A wind turbine (10) supported by a plurality of cables (20). The wind turbine (10) includes a tower (12). An energy generating unit (14) is disposed on the tower (12) and is configured to produce electrical energy from wind (40). The tower (12) includes an upper section and a lower section. Each of the upper and lower sections includes an inwardly directed flange (82, 90) having a plurality of through-bores (84, 92, 96). An annular member (62, 120) has one or more ears (50, 204) that extend outwardly. Each ear (50, 204) is configured to be coupled to one of the plurality of cables (20). The annular member (62) includes a plurality of bores (68, 72, 104) that align with the through-bores (84, 92, 96) in the inwardly directed flanges (82, 90). The bores (68, 72) each includes a screw thread (100, 102). Threaded fasteners (94) are used to secure the annular member (62, 120) to the tower (12). A method of installing includes tensioning cables (20) after installing the interface module (18, 120) on the tower (12) and before installing the energy generating unit (14).

Abstract: A wind turbine comprising, a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower, and a rotor defining a rotor axis extending in a vertical center plane and configured for harvesting wind energy by rotation of blades in a rotor rotation direction about the rotor axis. The nacelle comprises a rotor-supporting assembly forming a load path from the rotor to the tower and configured for receiving rotor torque caused by the rotation of the rotor. To reduce loading of the tower and potentially provide a cheaper construction, the nacelle has a center of gravity which is offset from the center plane in a direction relative to the rotor rotation direction to counteract the rotor torque.

Abstract: A wind turbine (10) includes a nacelle (14) with a longitudinal axis (LA) aligned with the flow of the incoming wind during operation. When so aligned, the nacelle defines a longitudinal direction (X). The wind turbine (10) includes one or more heat-generating components (22) and a modular cooler (24) operatively coupled to the one or more heat-generating components (22). The modular cooler (24) includes one or more cooling modules (30) with each including one or more cooling units (32). Each cooling unit (32) includes a heat exchanger (40) defining a cooling area (38), which defines a normal axis (NA) and a deflector plate (42) to divert the flow of the incoming wind by an angle less than 180° relative to the longitudinal direction (X). Each cooling unit (32) is oriented such that the normal axis (NA) is non-parallel to the longitudinal axis (LA). The modular cooler (24) is scalable in multiple dimensions to increase the cooling capacity of the cooler (24). A method of assembling the modular cooler (24) is also disclosed.
