Embodiment approach

[0030] For the upper embodiment, the cable 50 is guided from the lower support arm arrangement 51 via the grid structure of the support arm and then vertically upwards outside the support structure 4 until the cable reaches the upper support arm arrangement 52 where the cable 50 is guided over the circular element 53 of the upper support arm arrangement 52 and into the interior of the tower from which the cable 50 can be drawn according to known conventional wind turbine technology known to those skilled in the art. Steer down to the ground.

[0031] Particularly with respect to the above embodiment but not limited thereto, both support arm arrangements 10 may be constrained in relation to each other during yaw such that one support arm arrangement cannot deviate more than 120° from the other support arm arrangement about the support structure. ° (eg greater than 90°). In the above embodiment, this concerns ensuring that the cables hanging freely between the two support arm a...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a wind turbine system comprising a plurality of wind turbines mounted to a common support structure (4) by a support arm arrangement (10) comprising a mount portion (12) and at least one arm (13) extending from said mount portion and carrying a respective wind turbine (6). Said support arm arrangement (10) is capable of yawing around said support structure (4); andsaid wind turbine system comprises an improved arrangement for cable guiding in this connection.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to improved cabling for wind turbine systems with multiple rotors. Background technique [0002] The most common type of wind turbine is the three-bladed upwind horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT), in which the wind turbine rotor is located at the front of the nacelle and faces the wind upstream of its supporting wind turbine tower. [0003] There are several alternative wind turbine designs. One embodiment is a multi-rotor array wind turbine. [0004] EP1483501B1 discloses a multi-rotor array wind turbine in which a plurality of co-planar rotors are mounted to a common support structure. Such a configuration achieves the economies of scale that can be obtained with very large single rotor wind turbines, but avoids the associated drawbacks such as high blade mass, scaling up of power electronics components. However, while such a coplanar multi-rotor wind turbine has its advantages, it poses challenges to imple...
