Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to a system and a method for optimal yaw control of a wind turbine, comprising a tower carrying a rotatable nacelle rotated by a yaw motor, which nacelle comprises at least one generator connected by a shaft to a rotor, comprising one or more wings, which nacelle further comprises means for detecting wind direction and wind velocity, which system performs measurement and storing data related to power production, wind velocity and wind direction. The object of this invention is to optimize the yaw position of a nacelle to the wind direction. The object can be fulfilled by power production measured in a positive direction to actual yaw position is accumulated in a first storages related to measured wind direction and that power production measured in a negative direction to actual yaw position is accumulated in a second storages related to measured wind direction. By this system the power production of the wind turbine is optimized by self-calibrating yaw control.
