    Abstract: The present invention relates to pitch actuation of pitch-adjustable rotor blades of a three-bladed wind turbine in a situation where one blade load sensor is unavailable. Based on blade load signals (L1, L2, L3) and an availability signal (v1, v2, v3) for each of the blade load signals, combined load signals are constructed based on the available blade load signals. The combined load signals are determined based on application of a high pass filter to the blade load signals and a transform (T1) of the blade load signals to an intermediate coordinate frame, wherein, in the transform, the unavailable blade load signal is replaced with an estimated signal. A control action (CA) is performed using the combined load signals, and the resulting pitch modification signals (Δθ1, Δθ2, Δθ3) are applied to the pitch actuator.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of estimating an orientation of a wind turbine. The method comprises determining, using a polarising light compass of the wind turbine, a sun polarisation value, and determining a yaw angle of the wind turbine associated with the sun polarisation value. A sun direction vector is determined based on the sun polarisation value and the associated yaw angle; and an orientation of the wind turbine is estimated relative to a fixed direction using the sun direction vector.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to control of a wind turbine to reduce structural loading due to vibrations of the blades along the edgewise direction. A rotor control system for actuating pitch of pitch-adjustable rotor blades of a wind turbine is disclosed. Pitch modification signals are determined based on edgewise load signals for each of the rotor blades. The edgewise load signal are coordinated transformed and input into a primary whirling controller unit to provide whirling signal components which can be used for determining the pitch modification signals.
