Abstract:
A method and a device for dampening movement in a multiple rotor (MR) wind turbine located at sea and comprising a tower (2) extending in an upwards direction, a load carrying structure (3, 4) forming a first section (3) and a second section (4), the first and second sections extending in different directions away from the tower (2). To provide efficient dampening of the movement, the method comprises tethering a first body (20) to the first section (3), the first body being at least partly submerged into the sea.
