Abstract

The present invention relates to control of a wind turbine to reduce structural loading due to vibrations of the blades along the edgewise direction. A rotor control system for actuating pitch of pitch-adjustable rotor blades of a wind turbine is disclosed. Pitch modification signals are determined based on edgewise load signals for each of the rotor blades. The edgewise load signal are coordinated transformed and input into a primary whirling controller unit to provide whirling signal components which can be used for determining the pitch modification signals.
