Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, controllers and computer program products for determining an optimal tilt angle for a wind turbine. One or more signals indicating site conditions at and/or near a wind turbine are receivedand an optimal tilt angle for said wind turbine based on said received one or more signals indicating site conditions is determined. The optimal tilt angle is then transmittedto a platform controller such that said wind turbine can be inclined said optimal tilt angle.
