Summary:The present subject matter is directed to a system and method for operating a wind turbine 10 so as to increase power production by utilizing variable tip-speed-ratio control. In one embodiment, the method includes defining a first operating region 309 associated with an unsaturated torque range and a second operating region 310 associated with a saturated torque range. Further, the method includes monitoring a torque output of the wind turbine 10. The method also includes continuously adjusting a tip-speed-ratio set point of the wind turbine 10 so as to operate the wind turbine 10 along a torque constraint boundary 312 of the first and second operating regions 309,310.
