    Abstract: A flow power plant comprises a rotor rotating about a rotation axis and having a plurality of pivoting blades. Each pivoting blade is mounted to the rotor for pivoting between a position pivoted-in towards and a position pivoted-out away from the rotation axis. One separate electric machine operable both as a motor and as a generator is assigned to each pivoting blade for applying torques between the rotor and the pivoting blade. A controller separately controls the separate electric machines during each revolution of the respective pivoting blade together with the rotor around the rotation axis in such a way that a predetermined course of a pivot angle of the respective pivoting blade results between the pivoted-in position and the pivoted-out position. The predetermined course of the pivot angle is predetermined for a maximum recovery of energy from a flow flowing against the rotor transversely to the rotation axis.

    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.
