Abstract
Control of a multi-rotor wind turbine system. A local controller is arranged for each wind turbine module and implementing a local model predictive control (MPC) routine. A central controller is arranged to determine a set of operational constraints of the wind turbine modules. Based on a current operational state of the wind turbine module and the set of operational constraints, one or more predicted operational trajectories are calculated and used for controlling the wind turbine module.
