Abstract

A method and a system for calibrating a wind vane of a wind turbine, a method for monitoring a wind turbine, and a method for operating a wind turbine are provided. The method comprises: measuring first and second wind speeds with anemometers and a wind direction with a wind vane, a multiplicity of measurement values being recorded over a defined time period; determining differences between the first and second wind speeds; determining a model function for a relationship between measured wind directions and determined differences, at least one first model function being determined for a first wind-speed bin and at least one second model function being determined for a second wind-speed bin; determining at least one intersection point value of the measured wind direction where the first model function and the second model function intersect; and outputting the intersection point value as an installation angle of the wind vane.
