1. A method for computer-implemented determination of control parameters of a turbine, the turbine being a wind turbine comprising a generator, the method comprising during real-time operation of the turbine:
receiving, in real time by an interface of a computer system that controls the real-time operation of the turbine, a data stream of one or more measurement values of turbine sensors;
determining, in real time by a processing unit of the computer system, at components in turbine places not equipped with turbine sensors, two or more virtual parameters and temperatures by a simulation of the operation of the turbine, the simulation being made with a given turbine model in which the one or more measurement values and one or more characteristic values of the turbine are used as input parameters;
deriving, in real time by the processing unit, the control parameters for the turbine from the two or more virtual parameters and temperatures; and
controlling, by the processing unit of the computer system using the control parameters, the real-time operation of the turbine,
wherein the two or more virtual parameters determined by the simulation and used to derive the control parameters used to control the real-time operation of the turbine comprise noise and vibrations.
