CONTROL SYSTEM CAPABLE OF ESTIMATING A SPATIAL WIND FIELD OF A WIND TURBINE SYSTEM HAVING MULTIPLE ROTORS

摘要

A wind turbine system comprising a plurality of wind turbines mounted to a common support 5 structure, wherein each of the plurality of wind turbines includes a rotor and a power generation system driven by the rotor, the wind turbine system further comprising: sensing means arranged to obtain signals indicative of wind speed in at least two spaced locations on or near to the wind turbine system; processing means arranged to process the signals indicative of wind speed to estimate a spatial wind field around the wind turbine system; and 10 control means arranged to adjust operating parameters for each of the wind turbines in response to the estimated spatial wind field.
