Claim 13:
14. A method of controlling a wind turbine, the method comprising:
correcting a measurement value of at least one wind characteristic by measuring the measurement value of the at least one wind characteristic, obtaining state information of an adaptable flow regulating device of the wind turbine, and determining a corrected value of the at least one wind characteristic based on the measured value of the wind characteristic and the state information of the adaptable flow regulating device; and
controlling the wind turbine based on the corrected measurement value of the wind characteristic,
wherein the wind characteristic includes wind direction, and
wherein a value of wind direction is used as a reliable value when setting up a correction function, or wherein a derived value of the wind direction, as derived by performing a hill climbing algorithm in which a nacelle orientation is changed until most power output is obtained, is used as a reliable value when setting up the correction function.
