    Abstract: A method for controlling wind turbines (2) of a wind farm (1) is disclosed. The wind farm (1) is positioned at a site which includes one or more turbulence generating structures, such as hills (3, 7), valleys (6), trees (8) or buildings (9). A wind direction (4) at the site of the wind farm (1) is detected, and one or more upstream wind turbines (2a) and one or more downstream wind turbines (2b) are identified, based on the detected wind direction, where each of the upstream wind turbines (2a) is arranged in front of one or more of the downstream wind turbines (2b), as seen in the wind direction (4). If it is detected that turbulent wind conditions are occurring, based on measurements performed by the wind turbines (2) of the wind farm (1), then at least one of the upstream wind turbines (2a) is controlled based on measurements performed by at least one wind turbine which is a downstream wind turbine (2b) relative to the upstream wind turbine (2a).

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor control system for actuating pitch of pitch adjustable rotor blades of a wind turbine in order to reduce edgewise blade vibrations. The system comprises a pitch actuation unit being arranged to receive a torsional vibration signal and apply a filter to the torsional vibration signal to couple the torsional vibration signal to an edgewise vibration of the rotor blades. An m-blade coordinate transformation, such as the Coleman transformation, is applied to the filtered torsional vibrational signal to obtain pitch modification signals.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a rotor control system for actuating pitch of pitch adjustable rotor blades of a wind turbine in order to reduce edgewise blade vibrations. The system comprises a pitch actuation unit being arranged to receive an edgewise load signal and apply m-blade coordinate transformations, such as the Coleman transformations, to the edgewise load signal. Based on a selected signal component at either a backward whirling frequency or a forward whirling frequency, a modified modification signal is obtained.

    Abstract: A longitudinal structure (10), e.g. a monopile, for an offshore wind turbine (9) is disclosed. The longitudinal structure (10) comprises an outer wall enclosing a hollow interior (5), the outer wall comprising a first region (17) in which the outer wall is solid and a second region (1) in which the outer wall is provided with a plurality of passages (4) allowing fluid to pass to and from the hollow interior (5) of the longitudinal structure (10). The passages (4) have a non-circular elliptic shape with the major axis arranged substantially along a longitudinal direction (6) of the longitudinal structure (10). The passages (4) are arranged relative to each other in such a manner that a plurality of first passage-free areas (7) and a plurality of second passage-free areas (8) are formed on the outer wall of the second region (1), where each of the first passage-free areas (7) extends along a direction being parallel to the longitudinal direction (6) of the longitudinal structure (10), and each of the second passage-free areas (8) extends along a direction forming an angle with the longitudinal direction (6) of the longitudinal structure (10), said angle being within range of 30° to 60°.

    Abstract: A wind turbine comprising a plurality of wind turbine blades, a blade anti-ice system including a blade heating arrangement associated, wherein the anti-ice system includes a 5 control system and a power supply configured to provide power to the blade heating arrangement, characterised in that the power supply comprises a power converter. A benefit of using a power converter to supply electrical power to the heating devices is that power can be applied in a stepless manner. A much finer degree of control is therefore achieved over the thermal energy applied to the blade since the power can be ramped up 10 gradually as the system controller determines that the icing conditions are becoming more severe. As a result of the use of the power converter, the magnitude of thermal energy that is applied to the blade can be increased gradually and smoothly. [Figure 3] 15
