    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a wind turbine comprising one or more blades attached to a rotor hub, the one or more blades being arranged to pitch relative to the hub, the method comprising the steps of obtaining a blade load signal comprising data on an absolute load on the one or more blades; processing the blade load data to detect a high thrust wind event, and generating a control signal comprising a pitch contribution for affecting the blades to pitch out of the wind in response to the detected wind event. The invention also relates to a wind turbine, a control system for a wind turbine and a computer program product being adapted to enable a computer system to perform the method of the invention.

    Abstract: A method and system for improving the balance of a rotor in a wind turbine, including; determining blade load data associated with a selected rotor blade pair; determining, based on the blade load data, pitch imbalance data associated with the selected rotor blade pair, wherein the pitch imbalance data associated with a rotor blade pair is based on measurements of at least blade loading, rotor speed and wind speed; and, determining and applying pitch control inputs to one or both of the selected rotor blade pair in order to reduce the severity of the rotor imbalance.

    Abstract: Embodiments herein describe using a tower damping system to reduce oscillations in a wind turbine. To do so, the dampening system may use a metric that is decoupled from the activation strategy in order to control the blade pitch and avoid or mitigate feedback loops. In one embodiment, the dampening system measures a force on the turbine that is correlated to a fatigue loading on the tower. Furthermore, the turbine may perform a calculation to decouple the force from the activation strategy. That is, the turbine determines the value of the force as if the damping system was not activated or present. In addition, the dampening system uses the current wind speed and a wind distribution to generate a pitch reference value. The dampening system may use both the pitch reference value and the fatigue loading on the tower to reduce the tower oscillations.

    Abstract: The rotor blades of a wind turbine each have a plurality of fibre-optic pressure variation sensors which can detect the onset of a stall condition. The output of the stall condition sensors is input to a stall count circuit which increases a stall count signal each time a stall indication is received. The stall count signal is decayed exponentially over time and the current signal is summed with the decayed signal from a previous sampling period to form a value from which a stall margin is determined. An λ:θ curve of tip speed to wind speed ratio λ against pitch angle reference θ is then determined from the stall margin.
