Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and to a wind turbine for determining the tip angle of a blade of a wind turbine rotor during rotation of the rotor. The method comprising: (a) transmitting a light signal from a first blade of the wind turbine rotor towards a second blade of the rotor; (b) receiving the light signal at the second blade of the rotor; and (c) calculating the tip angle of the first or second blade based upon characteristics of the received light signal.
