Abstract
A method of operating a wind turbine comprises obtaining current wind speed, forecasting wind speeds by creating probability density functions of wind speeds at a series of time points in the future based on the obtained current wind speed and past wind speeds, determining operating parameters of the wind turbine for the forecasted wind speeds, and controlling the wind turbine based on the determined operating parameters.
