Abstract
The invention describes a method of controlling a wind turbine (2), which method comprises steps of measuring one or more climate parameters (ϕt, Tair, Tsurface) in an interior (2int) of the wind turbine (2); estimating, on the basis of the climate parameters (ϕt, Tair, Tsurface), the electrical resistance (RWt) of an insulating material (210M) deployed in an electrical component (21) of the wind turbine (2); and evaluating the need for a dry-out procedure on the basis of the estimated resistance (RWt). The invention further describes a wind turbine (2) with a monitoring arrangement (1) configured to perform the inventive method.

A method of controlling a wind turbine (2), which method comprises steps of
- measuring one or more climate parameters (ϕt, Tair, Tsurface) in an interior (2int) of the wind turbine (2);
- estimating, on the basis of the climate parameters (ϕt, Tair, Tsurface), the electrical resistance (RWr) of an insulating material (210M) deployed in an electrical component (21) of the wind turbine (2);
- evaluating the need for a dry-out procedure on the basis of the estimated resistance (RWt).
