The present disclosure describes a wind turbine that considers upstream wind speed and delays in the wind turbine dynamics when operating in partial load. The wind turbine includes an electrical generator, a rotor, a wind sensor, and a controller. The controller measures, at a first time and using the wind sensor, a first speed of wind upstream of the rotor. The wind will reach the rotor at a second time after the first time. The controller determines a final speed of the rotor and a reference and dispatches, at a third time between the first time and the second time, the reference to the electrical generator to adjust a speed of the rotor towards the final speed. An amount of time between the third time and the second time is sufficient for the speed of the rotor to transition to the final speed by the second time.
