Abstract

A method of determining an estimated wind speed of a wind driving a wind turbine includes measuring a current power generated by the wind turbine, measuring a current rotor speed of a rotor of the wind turbine, and measuring a current blade pitch angle of a rotor blade of the rotor. Moreover, the method includes determining the estimated wind speed based on the current power, the current rotor speed and the current blade pitch angle.
