Abstract

The invention relates to a method for controlling and regulating an operational parameter of a wind turbine blade such as e.g. a blade pitch angle, a position of a flap, or other means for changing the aerodynamic surface of a blade. These are controlled on a wind turbine during operation with the purpose of reducing any extreme tower loads. Based on a measured acceleration of the nacelle, the velocity of the wind turbine nacelle and a position of the wind turbine nacelle relative to a running mean are determined and from these the actual operating situation. This actual operating situation is compared to a predetermined space of acceptable operating situations determined from a set of normal operating situations. A control strategy is then chosen from a predetermined set of strategies. The method further comprises the steps of defining a control function for the operational parameter based on the chosen predefined control strategy, and controlling at least one of the operational parameters of at least one of the wind turbine blades in accordance with the control function.
