Abstract
Provided is a method for detecting the operative status of an aerodynamic device for influencing the airflow which flows from the leading edge of a rotor blade for a wind turbine to the trailing edge of the rotor blade, the aerodynamic device being movable by an actuator between a first protruded configuration and a second retracted configuration. The method includes the steps of measuring a temporal course of an operational value of the wind turbine, comparing the measured temporal course of the operational value with a desired temporal course of an operational value, and deriving an operative status of the aerodynamic device.
