In this study different multi rotor wind turbine systems (MRSs) will be designed in such a way that the space frame, forming the connection between rotor nacelle assemblies (RNAs) and tower, will be modeled as an ideal truss work. To dimension the tube diameters and wall thicknesses, a simplified load case will be used with an adjusted safety factor for loads. This simplified approach allows fast computations of a large variety of different support structure designs. By variation of rotor number, space frame topology, space frame depth and the positioning of yaw bearings, it is possible to gain an understanding of the optimal MRS design. As such, the simplified approach is a preliminary step helping to choose a good design parameter combination for a more detailed and comprehensive analysis. |
