Abstract
A method is for yaw control of a wind turbine. The wind turbine includes a wind turbine controller, a regular power supply to supply the wind turbine with electric power in case of a normal mode of operation, and a power backup system to supply the wind turbine with electric power in case of a grid outage. The method includes: detecting a grid outage for the wind turbine, switching from the regular power supply to the power backup system in case of the detected grid outage, and switching the wind turbine from the normal mode of operation to a less-active mode of operation in which the electric power consumption of the wind turbine is reduced compared to the normal mode of operation.
