Abstract: A method for controlling an aerogenerator (1) for producing electrical energy of the type comprising an arrangement of aerodynamic elements (2) that rotate on a common shaft (3), sensors (4) for measuring at least the speed of the wind incident upon said elements (2), an alternator unit (5) associated with the rotation of the shaft (3) for generating electrical energy supplied to a use point (7) and/or to a battery (8) or for transmitting a mechanical torque to the shaft (3), and a control unit (6) associated with the sensor (4) and with the alternator (5) in order to control the alternator (5).
