Abstract: There is provided a method of controlling power output of a wind turbine at below-rated wind speed, the method comprising: determining an indication of blade torsion of one or more rotor blades of the wind turbine in dependence on wind speed and/or rotor speed; determining a torsion-corrected blade pitch based on the indication of blade torsion; and using the torsion-corrected blade pitch to control pitch the one or more rotor blades.

Abstract: There is provided a method of avoiding edgewise vibrations during a non-operational period of a wind turbine. The method comprises defining a non-operational period for a wind turbine arranged at a specific site, determining expected wind conditions at the specific site during the non-operational period and defining a plurality of potential yaw orientations for the wind turbine. The method further comprises determining the relative probability of edgewise vibrations occurring during the non-operational period for each potential yaw orientation based upon the expected wind conditions during the non-operational period, determining one or more preferred yaw orientations, which are the yaw orientations in which the probability of edgewise vibrations occurring is lowest, and arranging the wind turbine in one of the preferred yaw orientations during the non-operational period.
