Abstract

A methodof controlling a wind turbine generator is disclosed. The method comprises operatingthe wind turbine in accordance with a power curve having a knee region and monitoringa temperature of at least one thermal hotspot of the wind turbine generator. The method further comprises initiatinga power boost to temporarily increase an active power generated by the wind turbine generator above a rated power when the wind turbine generator enters the knee region of the power curve and controllingat least one of a magnitude and a duration of the power boost in dependence on the temperature of the at least one thermal hotspot of the wind turbine generator.
