Abstract: The present invention relates to the wind power engineering and to the method of controlling a yaw angle of the wind turbine, equipped with a horizontal rotor shaft as well as to the wind turbine for implementing the method. According to the method of the present invention, the time difference between the time moments when the rotor blades are in the lower vertical position, the said time moments derived from the reference signal of the sensor connected to the rotor shaft, and the time moments when the blades are on one line with the wind direction and the tower, the said time moments_derived from the periodic signal of the spurious amplitude modulation generated by the AC generator and caused by aerodynamic interaction between the blades and the tower, is used as the indication of actual position of the wind turbine rotor relative to the wind direction.
