Abstract:
Provided is a method for damping a side-side oscillation of a tower of a wind turbine having a generator connected to a converter, the method including: measuring an acceleration value of the tower; determining, based on the acceleration value, at least one frequency value of at least one tower oscillation mode, including a second tower oscillation mode; controlling the converter of the wind turbine based at least on the acceleration value and the frequency value.
