IMPROVEMENTS RELATING TO WIND TURBINES

A method of determining a twist angle of a wind turbine blade, the method comprising providing first and second transmitters on the wind turbine blade, the first transmitter being spaced apart from a receiver by a first distance, and the second transmitter being spaced 5 apart from the receiver by a second distance, the transmitters being arranged such that twisting of the blade causes an increase in one of the first or second distances and a decrease in the other of the first or second distances; transmitting a blinking signal from each of the first and second transmitters towards the receiver, the blinking signals having a blinking frequency; varying the blinking frequency of the blinking signals; monitoring the 10 amplitude of the blinking signal received by the receiver as the blinking frequency is varied; determining a particular blinking frequency that results in an increased amplitude of the blinking signal received by the receiver; and using the determined particular blinking frequency to calculate the blade twist angle.
