Abstract
Provided is a method for detecting a wind gust that affects a wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine includes two or more blades which are coupled to a connection means so that the blades are essentially arranged in a common plane. The method including: i) measuring an event that at least one blade is at least partially out of the plane to obtain a measurement signal, ii) providing the measurement signal as a measurement input signal to an evaluation algorithm, iii) elaborating a detection result from the measurement input signal using the evaluation algorithm, and iv) comparing the detection result with a predefined wind gust threshold value (h) to determine, if a wind gust is detected. Furthermore, a wind gust detection system, a wind turbine that includes the system, and a wind turbine operating method are provided.
