Abstract:
Method of controlling a wind turbine. A data set is obtained that includes a direction of the wind relative to the wind turbine and a pitch angle parameter representing a pitch angle of at least one of the wind turbine blades. Based on the obtained data sets, a statistical representation of the pitch angle parameter as a function of the relative wind direction is determined, which is then used in estimating a wind direction offset corresponding to the relative wind direction where the pitch angle parameter attains a maximum. The relative wind direction of the wind turbine is then adjusted as a function of the wind direction offset.
