Abstract:
Controlling a wind turbine by obtaining a movement signal indicative of a vibrational movement of a wind turbine tower is described. An actuator signal is determined based on the movement signal, the actuator signal being determined to produce a desired force to counteract the vibrational movement of the tower. A pitch reference offset signal for each one of a plurality of pitch-adjustable rotor blades is determined based on the actuator signal. An integration is then applied to the pitch reference offset signals to determine modified pitch reference offset signals based on the integrated pitch reference offset signals. A pitch signal for each of the blades is determined based on the modified pitch reference offset signals, the pitch signals being arranged to adjust the blades to provide the force that counteracts the vibrational movement of the tower.
