Abstract:
A multirotor wind turbine (1) comprising a tower structure (2) and at least one load carrying structure (3), each load carrying structure (3) being arranged to carry two or more energy generating units (5), is disclosed. The wind turbine (1) further comprises a yawing arrangement (6) comprising a first part (9) being fixedly connected to the tower structure (2) and a second part (10) being fixedly connected to at least one of the load carrying structure(s) (3). The first part (9) and the second part (10) are configured to perform rotating movements relative to each other, thereby allowing the load carrying structure (3) to perform yawing movements relative to the tower structure (2). At least one guy wire (7) is connected between an anchoring point (8) at the ground and the first part (9) of the yawing arrangement (6). The invention further provides a yawing arrangement (6) for such a multirotor wind turbine (1).
