Abstract: The invention provides a method of controlling operation of a wind turbine having a tower. The method includes determining an overall control output including lateral oscillation control for dampening lateral oscillation of the tower, and using the overall control output to control wind turbine operation. The method further includes receiving lateral oscillation sensor data indicative of a level of lateral oscillation of the tower, determining a rated lateral oscillation control output in dependence on the received lateral oscillation data, and receiving an indication of yaw error of the wind turbine. A lateral oscillation control output included in the overall control output is determined to be de-rated from the rated lateral oscillation control output when the indicated yaw error is above a predetermined lower threshold level.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of reducing noise emissions of a wind turbine. The method includes receiving data indicative of wind conditions in the vicinity of the wind turbine, and determining an operational set point signal in accordance with a desired operation of the wind turbine, the operational set point signal being determined based on the received data. The method includes applying a perturbation signal to the operational set point signal to obtain a modified operational set point signal, and controlling operation of the wind turbine using the modified operational set point signal to reduce noise emissions of the wind turbine. The perturbation signal is applied such that the modified operational set point signal has greater temporal variation than the operational set point signal.
