    Abstract: A method for detecting low-frequency oscillations, in particular subsynchronous resonances, in an electrical supply grid is provided. The grid has a line voltage with a rated line frequency. The method comprises recording first and second series of measurements each for performing a frequency analysis (FFT). The method includes performing a lower frequency analysis for the first series for a lower frequency range and forming a lower amplitude spectrum. The method includes performing an upper frequency analysis for the second series for an upper frequency range and forming an upper amplitude spectrum. The method includes testing whether a low-frequency oscillation component can be identified in the lower amplitude spectrum, and testing whether a low-frequency oscillation component can be identified in the upper amplitude spectrum, where the presence of a low-frequency oscillation is assumed when a low-frequency oscillation component is identified in at least one of the lower and upper amplitude spectra.

    Abstract: Provided is a method for feeding electric power into an electricity supply grid via a connection node by way of a converter-controlled infeed unit, in particular by way of a wind power installation or a wind farm. The grid has a grid voltage and a grid frequency and is characterized by a grid nominal voltage and a grid nominal frequency. The grid voltage of the grid is acquired, a delayed differential angle is ascertained on the basis of the acquired grid voltage. The delayed differential angle corresponds to a difference between an acquired phase signal that indicates a temporal profile of a phase angle of the grid voltage and a phase signal that is delayed with respect to the acquired phase signal. A grid impedance effective for the connection node is acquired, and an infeed power is predefined based on the delayed differential angle and based on the impedance.

    Abstract: Provided is a method of feeding electric power at a grid connection point into an electric power grid having a grid voltage using a converter-controlled feeder, in particular using a wind energy system and/or of a storage unit. The method includes feeding the electric power into the electric power grid in a normal operating mode when no grid fault or grid malfunction has been detected in the electric power grid, and switching to a fault mode when a grid fault or grid malfunction has been detected, in which the grid voltage is increased or decreased. In the normal operating mode an active current is fed in in order to feed active electric power into the grid and if the need arises a reactive electric power is additionally fed into the grid by a reactive current. The combination of the active and reactive currents results in an apparent current.
