    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine to decrease blade deflection during tower passage is disclosed. A blade flap moment of the wind turbine blades is measured. A blade flap moment of the wind turbine blades and a rotor tilt moment in a situation where the pitch offset has not been added are estimated, based on the measured blade flap moment. In the case that the estimated blade flap moment exceeds a first activation threshold value and the estimated rotor tilt moment exceeds a second activation threshold value, individual pitch angle adjustment of the wind turbine blades is initiated by adding a pitch offset, at azimuth angles within an azimuth adjustment region corresponding to tower passage of the wind turbine blades.

    Abstract: The invention relates to adjusting pitch of rotor blades of a wind turbine. An acceleration signal is received from a wind turbine acceleration sensor and is indicative of side-to-side motion of the wind turbine tower. A first component in a fixed coordinate frame of the wind turbine is determined based on the received acceleration signal. The first component is indicative of a whirling mode of the wind turbine caused by edgewise vibrations of the rotor blades. A second component is generated based on the first component and is orthogonal to the first component. A control action is applied to obtain first and second control components for mitigating the whirling mode. An inverse m-blade coordinate transformation is applied to the first and second control components to obtain pitch reference offset values in a rotor coordinate frame of the wind turbine, which are used to adjust pitch of the rotor blades.

    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 method for damping an oscillation of a tower of a wind turbine is disclosed, wherein a pitch angle of each of the one or more rotor blades is individually adjustable, the method comprising damping the oscillation of the tower by pitching each rotor blade individually according to tower damping pitch control signals, wherein each tower damping pitch control signal comprises a first periodic component, where a first frequency of the first periodic component corresponds to a frequency difference between a tower frequency of the oscillation of the tower and a rotor frequency of a rotation of the rotor, and where a second periodic component has been reduced or removed. A second frequency of the second periodic component corresponds to a frequency sum of the tower frequency and the rotor frequency.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of controlling a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising wind turbine blades attached to a rotor hub and a control system for pitching the blades relative to the hub. The method comprises providing wake sectors assigned to different wind directions and providing a normal pitch schedule to control an output parameter of the wind turbine (e.g. power, rotational speed), comprising pitch reference values as a function of the wind speed and at least one of the parameters of thrust coefficient C, and axial induction factor a. Further, is provided a modified pitch schedule to control a modified output parameter of the wind turbine, comprising pitch reference values in dependence of the wind speed and at least one modified parameter of the thrust coefficient and/or the axial induction factor. Upon receiving indications of a wind speed and a wind direction at the wind turbine is determined a pitch reference value for the wind turbine blades according to the normal pitch schedule if the wind direction falls outside the wake sector and otherwise according to the modified pitch schedule. The wind turbine is then controlled according to the pitch reference value. The invention further relates to a method of controlling the wind turbines in a wind park, wherein each wind turbine in the park is controlled locally according to the above mentioned control method.
