  • Method for stabilising a rotor of a wind turbine
    Patent number: 11933272
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for stabilizing a rotor of a wind turbine during a time period following an abnormal grid event, the method comprising the steps of detecting an occurrence of the abnormal grid event, reducing an allowable rotor thrust from a first thrust limit to a second thrust limit, detecting that the abnormal grid event has ended, and maintaining the second thrust limit a selected time period after the abnormal grid event has ended. The present invention further relates to a wind turbine controller and a computer program product for performing this method.
