Abstract: A method and a device for dampening movement in a multiple rotor (MR) wind turbine located at sea and comprising a tower (2) extending in an upwards direction, a load carrying structure (3, 4) forming a first section (3) and a second section (4), the first and second sections extending in different directions away from the tower (2). To provide efficient dampening of the movement, the method comprises tethering a first body (20) to the first section (3), the first body being at least partly submerged into the sea.

Abstract: A method of retrofitting a wind turbine (10) having a wind turbine tower (12) and a first energy generating unit (14) includes rotating at least a portion of the wind turbine tower (12). The wind turbine tower (12) is secured to a foundation (16) and has a first position on the foundation (16). The method includes rotating at least a portion of the wind turbine tower (12) from the first position to a second position. In the second position, the portion experiences less stress when the wind turbine (10) is operated in the same prevailing wind. The wind turbine tower (12) may have at least two sections (12a, 12b, 12c) and wherein rotating includes rotating one section relative to another section. One section may be secured to a foundation (16). In that case, rotating may or may not include rotating the section secured to the foundation (16). Rotating the tower may occur after the first energy generating unit (14) is removed from the tower and may include rotating the wind turbine tower by an angle from 90°±15° relative to the first position.

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: A multiple rotor (MR) wind turbine comprising a tower (21) extending in an upwards direction, a load carrying structure (22) extending in an outwards direction and being fixed to the tower, and an energy generating unit (54) fixed to the load carrying structure, wherein the outwards direction is transverse to the upwards direction, the wind turbine further comprising a hoisting line (53) for communication of objects (52) to and from the energy generating unit (54), the hoisting line being windable from an attachment point (55) of the load carrying structure or from the energy generating unit. To allow positioning of hosted objects near the tower, or at selectable distance from the tower, the hoisting line extends from the attachment point via a suspension point (56) to a lifting point (57) where the object (52) can be attached, and the suspension point (56) is movable outside the load carrying structure.

Abstract: A multirotor wind turbine (1) comprising a vertical tower and at least two energy generating units (5), a load carrying structure (9, 10) extending transverse to the vertical direction and carrying the at least two energy generating units (5); and at least one escape route extending between a start and an exit. To provide a safe escape route, the load carrying structure forms at least a first section of the escape route from the start to an intermediate location, and the wind turbine comprises an escape opening in the nacelle, the escape opening leading from an interior space of a nacelle of the energy generating unit to a passage structure and the passage structure extending from the escape opening to the start of the escape route.
