Abstract: A method of determining torsional deformation in a drivetrain e.g. of a wind turbine. To provide a reliable and simple deformation assessment, the method comprises the step of generating a first signal representing first rotational speed of a low speed shaft, generating a second signal representing the second rotational speed of a high speed shaft, and determining torsional deformation based on changes in the ratio between the first and second signals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of operating a wind turbine with an operational parameter where values of the operational parameter are obtained by different sensors and compared to determine the validity of the value. A first value and a second value of the operational parameter are obtained different sensors and validated by comparing the two values. The wind turbine being operated using a validated value as the operational parameter. The two sensors are selected among a trained machine learning model, a reference sensor and a computerized physical model.

Abstract: Systems and methods for estimating a direction of wind incident on a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a tower; a rotor-nacelle-assembly (RNA) carried by the tower; a deflection sensor configured to sense a position of the RNA or a deflection of the tower; and a wind direction sensor. One approach includes: obtaining deflection training data from the deflection sensor; obtaining wind direction training data from the wind direction sensor; training a machine learning model on the basis of the deflection training data and the wind direction training data in order to obtain a trained machine learning model; obtaining further deflection data from the deflection sensor; inputting the further deflection data into the trained machine learning model; and operating the machine learning model to output a wind direction estimate on the basis of the further deflection data.

Abstract: Controlling a wind turbine comprising a wind sensor, a number of pitch-adjustable rotor blades, a yawing system, and a control system for yawing the wind turbine rotor relative to the wind and for changing the pitch of the rotor blades. A wind parameter is measured by the wind sensor, and is indicative of the wind speed and/or the wind direction relative to the wind turbine. At least a first and a second set of wind correction parameters for different production modes of the wind turbine are obtained. The production mode of the wind turbine is then determined, which may be one of at least normal operation or non-production, and the measured wind parameter is then adjusted as a function of the set of wind correction parameters corresponding to the production mode at the time of adjusting. Hereby a more precise wind parameter is obtained which can be used in the controlling of the turbine.
