In cooperation with the Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Vestas is installing a concept demonstrator to test the technical feasibility to operate and control a multi-rotor turbine. Continuing to reduce the levelised cost of energy (LCOE) over the long-term will require new solutions and a new way of thinking.
With this concept demonstrator, Vestas challenges the core scaling rules that turbines have to grow in size to increase their energy output as well as transport and installation challenges in some markets. Many new load and control features will need to be developed, tested, and proven to assess the technical and 
eventually the commercial feasibility of the concept, and first after successful demonstration will Vestas know more about the possible use of the technologies. With the Technical University of Denmark as a research partner, the multi-rotor concept demonstrator is being erected at the Risø test site near Roskilde, Denmark, where it will be studied closely in the coming years in order to test specific functionalities.
