  • Patent number: 11879431
    Abstract: There is provided a method (40) of correcting blade pitch in a wind turbine (10) having a tower (12) and a plurality of rotor blades (18). The method (40) comprises: receiving (410) sensor output data from one or more wind turbine sensors (141), the sensor output data including data indicative of excitation of the tower (12) for a plurality of different pitch angles of a particular one of the blades (18); determining (420) a corrected pitch reference of the particular blade (18), the corrected pitch reference corresponding to a minimum tower excitation based on the received sensor output data; and, sending (430) the corrected pitch reference to a pitch actuator system (24) of the particular blade (18).

  • Publication number: 20210388815
    Abstract: A method of controlling a wind turbine, the method comprising: determining an initial thermal model representing thermal characteristics of a plurality of components of a first wind turbine; receiving operational data relating to thermal characteristics of components of a plurality of wind turbines; processing the initial thermal model and the operational data using an optimisation algorithm to determine a modified thermal model for the plurality of components of the first wind turbine; and controlling the first wind turbine in accordance with the modified thermal model.
