Abstract
The present invention relates to control of a wind turbine where nacelle vibration is reduced by use of blade pitching. The nacelle vibrations are reduced based on a position signal of the nacelle. A pitch signal is determined based on the position signal and applied to the pitch-adjustable rotor blades in order to reduce nacelle vibration.
