Abstract

This application provides a control method and device for avoiding run-away, and a wind turbine. The method may include: determining whether a brake system of the wind turbine has failed; if the brake system has failed, calculating an initial crosswind position based on a current wind direction angle, and enabling a yaw system of the wind turbine to perform a crosswind operation based on the initial crosswind position; performing a long-period and short-period filter processing on wind direction data acquired during a crosswind process to obtain an average and instantaneous wind direction angle respectively; determining whether a wind direction has a sudden change based on the average and instantaneous wind direction angle; and if the wind direction has a sudden change, calculating a new crosswind position based on the average wind direction angle, and enabling the yaw system to perform a crosswind operation based on the new crosswind position.
