A wind turbine system is described comprising a plurality of wind turbine modules, each including a rotor, mounted to a support structure including a tower. In use, each rotor has an associated rotating unbalance that defines an unbalance vector. The wind turbine system includes control means configured to coordinate the rotational speeds of the plurality of rotors to attenuate oscillations of the support structure caused by the rotating unbalance of the rotors. Also described is a method of controlling such a wind turbine system. The method comprises coordinating the rotational speeds of the plurality of rotors to attenuate oscillations of the support structure caused by the rotating unbalance of the rotors.
A wind turbine system comprising:
A method of controlling a wind turbine system comprising a plurality of wind turbine modules mounted to a support structure including a tower, each of the plurality of wind turbine modules including a rotor, wherein, in use, each rotor has an associated rotational imbalance, the method comprising:
A controller for a wind turbine system comprising a plurality of wind turbine modules mounted to a support structure including a tower, each of the plurality of wind turbine modules including a rotor, wherein, in use, each rotor has an associated rotational imbalance, wherein the controller comprises:
A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the computer-readable medium comprising program code instructions which, when executed by one or more processors, perform an operation for controlling a plurality of rotors mounted to a support structure including a tower, each rotor having an associated rotational imbalance, the operation comprising:
