  • Patent number: 11466659
    Abstract: A multirotor wind turbine (1) comprising a yaw arrangement (6) and a tower (2) is disclosed. A load carrying structure comprises first and second arms (3) extending from the yaw arrangement (6) and carrying energy generating units (4). the yaw arrangement (6) comprises an outer wall part (7) arranged coaxially with the tower (2) and forming a closed ring extending circumferentially about an outer surface of the tower (2), thereby forming a space (8) between the tower (2) and the outer wall part (7). The outer wall part (7) and the outer surface of the tower (2) are rotatable relative to each other.

  • Publication number: 20220056890
    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).

  • Patent number: 11225950
    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.

  • Publication number: 20210317813
    Abstract: A multirotor wind turbine (1) comprising a tower (2), a yaw arrangement (6) and at least two energy generating units (4) is disclosed. The yaw arrangement (6) is carried by the tower (2) and comprises an outer wall (7) being rotationally suspended about the tower (2). Each energy generating unit (4) is carried by an arm (3) extending from the outer wall (7). The multirotor wind turbine (1) further comprises a load management system (14, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 36) for hoisting articles (15, 26) from the tower bottom to each energy generating unit (4) via the yaw arrangement (6).
