The present invention relates to a method of controlling the aerodynamic load of a wind turbine~s blades individually in such a way that the dynamic aerodynamic loads on the turbine are reduced and power production is optimised. In general the present invention will improve the overall stability of the turbine leading to reduce fatigue loads, reduced extreme loads during operation and reduced risk of blade-tower interaction. In particular preferred embodiment of the invention, flow properties are measured locally on the different blades or in front of the blades and from these measurements the pitch angle settings are changed, in other ways changing the aerodynamic properties, for the blades through a control unit.

L'invention concerne une méthode de commande individuelle de la charge aérodynamique des pales d'une éolienne, de sorte que les charges aérodynamiques sur l'éolienne soient réduites et que la production d'énergie soit optimisée. D'une manière générale, la méthode de l'invention permet d'améliorer la stabilité globale de l'éolienne et donc de réduire les charges de fatigue, les charges extrêmes pendant le fonctionnement et le risque d'interaction pales-tour. Dans un mode particulièrement préféré de l'invention, les propriétés d'écoulement sont mesurées localement sur les différentes pales ou en face de celles-ci, et à partir de ces mesures les réglages de l'angle d'inclinaison sont modifiés, en d'autres termes par la modification des propriétés aérodynamiques des pales au moyen d'une unité de commande.
