Wind turbine comprising: a tower () and a nacelle () housing a generator () driven by a wind rotor; measuring devices of at least wind speed V, generator speed &#x3a9;, pitch angle &#x3b8;i of each blade, power P, wind turbine accelerations in two perpendicular directions Ax, Ay, yaw angle Yw; azimuth position of the wind rotor AZ in which the control system connected to said measuring devices and to at least pitch and torque control actuators is also arranged for performing an active pitch angle regulation when the wind turbine is in an idling situation above Vchanging the pitch angle &#x3b8;i of each blade for minimizing the wind turbine vibrations depending at least on the measured values of wind speed V, wind turbine accelerations Ax, Ay in two perpendicular directions, yaw angle Yw, azimuth position of the wind rotor AZ and pitch angle &#x3b8;i of each blade.

Wind turbine having an active pitch angle control during an idling situation

A wind turbine blade () having an aerodynamic profile with a leading edge (), a trailing edge () and suction and pressure sides () between the leading edge () and the trailing edge (), wherein the pressure side () includes a modified zone () shaped for reducing the negative lift coefficient which is done whether attaching a device () such as a stall strip to the blade () or attaching or inserting into the blade () a deformable device and actuator means for providing the shape and size changes in it.
