A method for controlling an inclination of a floating wind turbine platform Position data associated with an orientation of the floating wind turbine is received. A heel angle in reference to the floating wind turbine platform is determined based on the position data. A first signal for adjusting at least one of a blade pitch of a set of turbine blades and a torque of a generator is sent based on the determined heel angle. A second signal for distributing ballast among at least three stabilizing columns is also sent. The second signal for distributing the ballast is based on the determined heel angle and the first signal. The first and second signals may be adjusted to account for startup and shutdown procedures and for future changes to wind speed and velocity.
