Abstract
There is provided a method of controlling power output of a wind turbine at below-rated wind speed, the method comprising: determining an indication of blade torsion of one or more rotor blades of the wind turbine in dependence on wind speed and/or rotor speed; determining a torsion-corrected blade pitch based on the indication of blade torsion; and using the torsion-corrected blade pitch to control pitch the one or more rotor blades.
