WIND TURBINE OPERATION IN ASYMMETRIC FLOW

A method of operating a wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine comprises a rotor (101) with two or more rotor blades (10). The method comprises detecting a load asymmetry of a load acting on the rotor (101), the load being caused by a flow of air to which the rotor (101) is exposed. It further compr...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A method of operating a wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine comprises a rotor (101) with two or more rotor blades (10). The method comprises detecting a load asymmetry of a load acting on the rotor (101), the load being caused by a flow of air to which the rotor (101) is exposed. It further comprises reducing the load asymmetry by controlling an active aerodynamic device (20), wherein the active aerodynamic device (20) is provided on a rotor blade (10) of the rotor (101), and wherein the active aerodynamic device (20) is controlled to change, based on the detected load asymmetry, an aerodynamic load applied to the rotor blade (10) by the flow of air to counteract the load asymmetry.
