An intuitive representation and analysis of multi‐rotor wind turbine whirling modes

OT Filsoof, X Zhang - Wind Energy, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
A multi‐rotor wind turbine (MRWT) is a concept that can reduce the size of the rotor blades
compared to a single‐rotor wind turbine (SRWT). Making a cost‐optimized MRWT requires a …
