Short summary
Wind energy has been dominated by ever-increasing single-rotor wind turbines. Structural scaling laws make multi-rotor wind turbines attractive, as they can achieve similar power outputs but work with, rather than against, scaling laws. This work investigates high-level control strategies for a 23-rotor multi-rotor wind turbine, including the aerodynamic interactions between the rotors, and suggests an alternative to pitch control using multi-rotor furling.
