Abstract: The majority of wind turbines currently in operation have the conventional concept design. That is a single-rotor wind turbine (SRWT) which is connected through spur gearbox to a generator. Recently, dual-rotor wind turbine (DRWT) has been introduced to the market. It has been proven that the steady state performance of the DRWT system for extracting energy is better than the SRWT. But, a comparison of fault-ride-through capability of these two types of turbines requires further research.
