Abstract
Provided are a method for operating a wind turbine, wherein the wind turbine has an aerodynamic rotor with at least one rotor blade which is mounted on a rotor hub of the rotor, wherein a blade angle of the at least one rotor blade can be adjusted about its longitudinal axis with respect to the rotor hub, and a corresponding wind turbine. The method has the following steps: providing current wind properties; providing an actual blade angle of the rotor blade or an average value of all actual blade angles of the rotor blades; determining a steady-state blade angle of the at least one rotor blade which, taking into account known rotor properties, the electrical system and the wind properties, leads to a desired steady operating state of the wind turbine; comparing the steady-state blade angle with the actual blade angle or the average value of all actual blade angles; adapting an operation of the wind turbine if the steady-state blade angle deviates significantly from the actual blade angle or the average value of all actual blade angles.
