Abstract
A method for controlling a wind turbine is disclosed, the wind turbine comprising a set of wind turbine blades (), each wind turbine blade () being provided with at least one air deflector () being movable between an activated position in which it protrudes from a surface of the wind turbine blade () and a de-activated position. The occurrence of an event causing a change in operational conditions is registered, and a new operating state for the wind turbine is determined, the new operating state meeting requirements of the changed operational conditions. The air deflectors () of the wind turbine blades () and pitch angles of the wind turbines blades () are controlled in order to reach the new operating state for the wind turbine, and in such a manner that the control of the pitch angles of the wind turbine blades () is performed while taking information regarding the control of the air deflectors () into account.
