Abstract: The invention provides a computer-implemented method of controlling operation of a wind turbine in which a plurality of wind turbine zones are defined. The method comprises, for each of the plurality of wind turbine zones: receiving sensor data from at least one electromagnetic radiation sensor arranged to monitor the respective wind turbine zone; and, determining, based on the received sensor data, whether one or more people are in the respective wind turbine zone. The method comprises selecting an operational mode of the wind turbine based on the determination as to which of the plurality of zones have one or more people therein, and controlling the wind turbine to operate in the selected operational mode.
