    Abstract: Controlling a wind turbine comprising a wind direction sensor, a yawing system, and a control system for turning the wind turbine rotor relative to the wind. Over one or more time intervals a data set comprising a direction of the wind relative to the wind turbine as measured by the wind direction sensor and a wind power parameter determined as one of a power, a torque, or a blade load of the wind turbine are obtained. The data sets are sorted into a number of bins of different intervals of wind power parameter. For each power bin, a statistical representation of the wind power parameter as a function of the relative wind direction is determined and then used in estimating a wind direction offset corresponding to the relative wind direction where the wind power parameter attains a peak value. The relative wind direction is then adjusted as a function of the set of wind direction offsets to yield more accurate wind direction data which can be used in controlling the turbine.
