Abstract
A method of operating a wind turbine generator comprising a plurality of blades, the method comprising iterating the following steps: comparing an indicated rotor speed with a rotor speed target to determine a rotor speed error; generating a modified rotor speed error by applying a control factor to the rotor speed error; controlling the pitch angle of the blades via a pitch control system in accordance with the modified speed error; and altering the control factor in dependence on a size of the indicated rotor speed.
