1. A method for controlling a wind turbine when a wind event is acting on the wind turbine, the wind turbine part of a wind farm having a plurality of wind turbines, the method comprising:
preparing, via a controller, a yaw bias correction function based, at least in part, on a yaw offset function, and on wind speed measurement data and wind direction reference data of a wind event acting on at least a portion of the wind farm; and
applying, via the controller, the yaw bias correction function based at least in part on position data of a nacelle of the wind turbine, to yaw the nacelle of the wind turbine.
