Abstract
A method for operating a wind turbine is described. The wind turbine includes a tower having a tower axis, and a nacelle being rotatable about the tower axis. The method includes providing a data set of one or more operational parameters of the wind turbine. The one or more operational parameters depend on the angular position of the nacelle with respect to the tower axis. The method further includes determining an angular position of the nacelle with respect to the tower axis; selecting one or more operational parameters from the data set of one or more operational parameters of the wind turbine depending on the determined angular position of the nacelle; and applying the one or more selected operational parameters to the wind turbine. Further, another method of operating a wind turbine and a wind turbine are described.
