“…In the field of yaw control of an MRS, there have been only a few scientific studies so far. The work of [12] should be mentioned, in which an MRS consisting of two rotors was investigated with respect to the yaw control. A robust integral backstepping controller (IBC) was used as the controller to pitch the rotor blades to change the drag of the rotors.…”

“…This is done by adjusting the speed by changing the generator torque. According to [12] the control was divided into two steps, "Speed Control" to control the c P of the turbines and "Yaw angle Control" to control the yaw of the two turbines. The controller was simulated in Matlab/Simulink and compared against a classical proportional-integral (PI) controller.…”

“…The controller was simulated in Matlab/Simulink and compared against a classical proportional-integral (PI) controller. The PI controller has, according to [12] significantly higher power losses than the IBC. One other example is [13], which was developed within the InnWIND.eu project, in which the control of an MRS on a floating foundation using variable rotor thrust was investigated.…”

In this paper, the control of an active yaw system for a 20 MW multi-rotor wind turbine system (MRS) is considered. The MRS under investigation consists of five 4 MW turbines in two rows, which are connected to the tower via a space frame. A central yaw bearing at the height of the lower rotors is provided for active yaw. The paper aims to show that active aerodynamic yaw is possible by changing the thrust of certain rotors and should be considered for further research in the field of yawing of an MRS. Two different simulation environments are used in the paper. The MRS is modeled and simulated in Matlab/Simulink. Simulink’s own control modules are used as controllers. In the other simulation approach, the same MRS is modeled and simulated in Bladed and controlled with an external controller based on C++. The use of Bladed and Matlab/Simulink enables the plausibility and verification of the results. Matlab/Simulink is faster based of its simpler models but Bladed is more sophisticated. This paper also briefly presents the state of the art for yaw systems and yaw control of conventional single rotor wind turbines and initial research literature on yaw control of MRS.
