Multi Rotor Wind Turbine Systems guides the reader through the fundamentals, design, wind farm effects, logistics and operation, costs, and socio-economic considerations. Multi rotor systems (MRS) provide a solution to delivering bigger systems without the need for bigger rotors, offering a highly automatable approach with potential for customization, and other benefits relating to physical scaling laws, positive aerodynamic effects, wake recovery, cost, reliability, and sustainability. All of these aspects are described in this book, which draws on the latest research findings and application examples, enabling the reader to find optimal MRS topologies and design concepts by application of the physics and considering cost of energy (LCoE) as the main objective, with sustainability as a further very relevant aspect.

This latest volume in the Elsevier Wind Energy Engineering Series is a valuable reference for wind energy students and researchers, engineers, turbine designers, wind farm developers, wind farm operators, investors, certification bodies, and consulting firms in wind turbine engineering, as well as anyone interested in innovative technical design and solutions in the energy transition.
