Systems and methods for determining thrust on a wind turbine are disclosed. In one aspect, a system is described that can be comprised of a wind turbine comprising a rotor, wherein one or more rotor blades of the wind turbine are affixed to the rotor; and one or more sensors located on or within the rotor, wherein the one or more sensors measure deflection of the rotor. In one aspect, the measured deflection is correlated with thrust on the wind turbine and the measured thrust can be used to determine at least in part a pitch angle for at least one of the one or more rotor blades during peak shaving. |
