Abstract

The invention relates to a method and assembly for aligning a wind sensor relative to a rotatable nacelle of a wind turbine. The method comprises determining orientation of a horizontal reference axis of the wind sensor in a horizontal plane, determining orientation of a longitudinal axis of the nacelle in said plane, determining deviation between the two orientations, and altering the deviation by changing orientation of the horizontal reference axis of the wind sensor in said plane. The assembly comprises a wind sensor support mounted on the nacelle, a first position sensor operationally engaged to the wind sensor support, and a second position sensor provided on the nacelle. The wind sensor is aligned relative to the longitudinal axis of the nacelle by reducing deviation between orientation of the horizontal reference axis of the wind sensor and orientation of the longitudinal axis of the nacelle in the horizontal plane.
