1. A method for operating a wind turbine having a wind turbine component and a setting system configured to execute at least two different measures for reducing a likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component, the method comprising:
providing first trigger information which is representative of whether the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component exceeds a first threshold;
generating a first output signal if the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component exceeds the first threshold, wherein the first output signal is configured to cause the setting system to execute a first measure of the at least two different measures for reducing the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component;
providing second trigger information which is representative of whether the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component exceeds a second threshold after the first measure has been executed; and,
generating a second output signal if the likelihood of overloading exceeds the second threshold, wherein the second output signal is configured to cause the setting system to execute a second measure of the at least two different measures for reducing the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component.
