Techniques for controlling the yaw of a wind turbine system by controlling a plurality of yaw drive actuators.
When the yaw drive actuators are applying the same torque to all the motors, this can lead to some motors overspeeding, if the motor is not engaged when the yaw system is activated.
Therefore, if the actual motor speed reference of a yaw drive actuator is higher than a specific motor speed reference, then an output signal to reduce the actual motor speed reference is applied to the yaw drive actuators with an actual motor speed reference higher than the specific motor speed reference.
