Abstract
A method for wind turbine tower damping is disclosed, as well as an associated controller and wind turbine. The method comprises determining, using one or more sensor signals, dynamic state information for a tower of a wind turbine during power production, wherein the dynamic state information comprises a tower frequency. The method further comprises determining at least one control loop gain value using the tower frequency, and generating, using the at least one control loop gain value, one or more control signals for controlling a rotational speed of a rotor of the wind turbine.
