Abstract
A wind turbine rotor is decelerated and locked in a target rotational position in relation to rotation of the rotor about the rotor axis. The rotational position of the rotor in relation to the rotational axis is detected relative to at least one target rotational position. Once the rotor reaches one of the target rotational positions, the rotor is halted and automatically locked in the target rotational position.
