Method of controlling a wind power system including a plurality of system elements, the wind power system including a plurality of data processors distributed in the system elements, the method including the steps of: synchronizing at least a part of the data processors to at least one reference signal distributed to the data processors from a time synchronization arrangement, associating the data processors with local clock generation circuitries, wherein the local clock generation circuitries associated with data processors of a first subset of the data processors have a peak-to-peak tracking jitter higher than or equal to a predetermined threshold value and wherein a second subset of the data processors have a peak-to-peak tracking jitter less than the predetermined threshold value, controlling at least one of the system elements at least partly by means of a data processor from the first or second subset of data processors.
