Abstract

A method is described for turning a wind power plant's (10, 20) rotor plane in relation to a wind direction or in relation to twist in an electrical export cable. The wind power plant (10, 20) comprises at least one wind turbine (11, 21, 31) including a rotor (14, 24, 34) with at least one rotor blade (15, 25, 35) which is designed for rotation in the rotor plane. The method comprises adjusting at least a part of the at least one rotor blade (15, 25, 35) and rotating the rotor (14, 24, 34) by means of a motor on a signal from a control system in dependence on the wind direction or twist in the export cable, so that the at least one wind turbine's rotor (14, 24, 34) is acted upon by a turning moment which turns the rotor plane in relation to the wind direction or export cable's twist.
