The invention relates to a method for the individual pitch control of the rotor blades of a wind turbine. The method comprises: measuring an acceleration by means of an acceleration sensor in a rotor blade of the wind turbine; high-pass filtering of a signal of the acceleration sensor in order to determine a time-variant variable; and setting the pitch of the first rotor blade of the wind turbine using the time-variant variable, said pitch setting being part of an individual pitch control.

A method for the individual pitch control of the rotor blades of a wind turbine is provided herein. In some embodiments, the method includes measuring an acceleration by an acceleration sensor in a rotor blade of the wind turbine; high-pass filtering of a signal of the acceleration sensor in order to determine a time-variant variable; and setting the pitch of the first rotor blade of the wind turbine using the time-variant variable, the pitch setting being part of an individual pitch control.
