Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013010332A1] A method of operating a wind turbine (100) is provided. The wind turbine (100) comprises a rotor (130) having a plurality of blades (140), wherein the pitch of each blade (140) is variable. The method comprises decreasing the power output of the wind turbine (100) by a predefined amount by increasing the rotational speed of the rotor (130) to a predetermined rotor speed, determining if the predetermined rotor speed exceeds a maximum rotor speed, and if the predetermined rotor speed exceeds the maximum rotor speed, limiting the rotational speed of the rotor (130) to the maximum rotor speed and decreasing the power output of the wind turbine (100) by varying the pitch of at least one of the plurality of blades (140).
