Company announces plan to test innovative turbine, which aims to overcome scaling rules and installation challenges Vestas has unveiled plans for an innovative wind turbine design, which aims to use four separate rotors to challenge the assumption that the only way to increase wind power output is to build ever-larger...
Vestas Wind Systems have announced that testing will commence on the technical specifications of a multi rotor turbine in partnership with the royal University of Denmark . The new concept of the multi rotor system is to be designed from four refurbished V29 - 225kW turbines mounted on a modular structure to be installed at the Risoe ##l site near Roskilde , Denmark . The Vestas project aims to challenge the core scaling requirements , which means that wind turbines have to grow in size in order to produce more power . Vestas are confident that the development will ease compliance on planning permission , and that height restrictions will also address transport and installation logistics .
