Calibration method

Method for the operation of a wind power plant that includes a method for the calibration of at least one sensor, wherein the wind power plant has at least one movable component, comprising the steps of:

• pivoting or rotating the movable component on a predeterminable axis and
• evaluating a measurement value captured by the at least one sensor, which is a measure for the load of the movable component,
• wherein the calibration method is performed automatically and the calibration method is initiated by a calibration signal,
• stopping the wind power plant after the initiation of the calibration method by the calibration signal or performing the calibration method during trundling of the wind power plant,
• wherein the evaluation step includes that in the case of a deviation of the captured measurement value, adjusted by a calibration function, from a specifiable and/or saved and/or determined reference, which is greater than a specificable deviation setpoint value, the measurement value adjusted by the calibration function is the basis for the creation and saving of an adjusted calibration function, and
• wherein the evaluation step includes that in the case of a deviation of the captured measurement value from a specifiable and/or saved and/or determined reference, which is greater than a specifiable deviation threshold value, the captured measurement value is the basis for the creation and saving of the adjusted calibration function.
