A method of controlling a wind turbine, wherein a minimum required hydraulic pressure represents a hydraulic pressure of at least one accumulator of the wind turbine which is required to pitch at least one blade of the wind turbine which is associated with the accumulator into a stop position of the wind turbine, and wherein a pitch angle represents a pitch angle of a normal of the at least one blade of the wind turbine relative to an incoming wind direction. The method includes (a) determining a minimum requirement function of the minimum required hydraulic pressure dependent on the pitch angle, (b) detecting a current hydraulic pressure in the at least one accumulator at a current pitch angle of the at least one blade, and (c) controlling the wind turbine such that the current hydraulic pressure is above the minimum required hydraulic pressure at the current pitch angle.
