A wind turbine including yaw control comprising a controller receiving an input signal, and providing an output control signal to a yaw actuator. The input signal to the controller is based on: a first feedback signal that is indicative of the relative wind direction determined with respect to the wind turbine, wherein the first feedback signal is filtered with a first low pass filter; and a second feedback signal that is indicative of the activity of the yaw actuator. The control technique of the invention significantly improves the ability of a yaw system to maintain a zero degree yaw error during steady state wind conditions, or in other words to maintain an accurate heading of the nacelle pointing into the wind, as well as reducing the maximum yaw error experienced during yaw system activation.

The present invention relates to a rotor control system for actuating pitch of pitch adjustable rotor blades of a wind turbine in order to reduce edgewise blade vibrations. The system comprises a pitch actuation unit being arranged to receive an edgewise load signal and apply m-blade coordinate transformations, such as the Coleman transformations, to the edgewise load signal. Based on a selected signal component at either a backward whirling frequency or a forward whirling frequency, a modified modification signal is obtained.

The control of the power output of wind turbine generator that operates in a derated mode to generate a produced power output level lower than an available power level. A pitch system sets the blade pitch of a rotor to a pitch value based on the received power reference signal. A power system controls the produced power output level of the wind turbine to the requested power output level. Moreover, the blade pitch of the rotor is further controlled by a pitch feedback control loop that modifies the pitch value based on a difference between the produced power output level and the requested power output level.
