Abstract

The invention relates to a method of controlling a wind turbine (WT) by means of a wind turbine control system (WTCS) comprising a first controller (C1) and a second controller (C2), said controlling of said wind turbine (WT) comprising handling a first set of control functionalities (CF1-CFx) and a second set of control functionalities (CCF1-CCFx), wherein said first set of control functionalities (CF1-CFx) are non-critical control functionalities, wherein said second set of control functionalities (CCF1-CCFx) comprises one or more critical control functionalities (CCF1-CCFx) which are critical for the operation of said wind turbine (WT), wherein said first controller (C1) handles said first set of control functionalities (CF1-CFx), wherein said second controller (C2) is a safety controller controlling said wind turbine during emergency shutdown of said wind turbine (WT) by means of said critical control functionalities (CCF1-CCFx), and wherein said second controller (C2) furthermore controls one or more of said critical control functionalities to provide an output to control said wind turbine (WT) when the wind turbine (WT) is in a power production mode. The invention furthermore relates to a system, a controller and a wind turbine.
