Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of determining the wind speed in the plane of a rotor (PR) of a wind turbine (1), by measuring (MES2) the rotational speed of the rotor, the angle of the blades and the generated power. The method according to the invention uses a wind turbine model (MOD) constructed from wind speed measurements (LID), and by use of measurement clustering (GRO) and regressions (REG).
