Abstract: The invention provides a method for controlling a wind turbine, including predicting behaviour of one or more wind turbine components such as a wind turbine tower over a prediction horizon using a wind turbine model that describes dynamics of the one or more wind turbine components or states. The method includes determining behavioural constraints associated with operation of the wind turbine, wherein the behavioural constraints are based on operational parameters of the wind turbine such as operating conditions, e.g. wind speed. The method includes using the predicted behaviour of the one or more wind turbine components in a cost function, and optimising the cost function subject to the determined behavioural constraints to determine at least one control output, such as blade pitch control or generator speed control, for controlling operation of the wind turbine.
