    Abstract: Provided is a method for feeding electrical power into an electrical supply network using a converter-controlled infeed apparatus. The apparatus feeds into a local network section of the electrical supply network at a network connection point. The network has further infeed apparatuses and consumers for consuming electrical power. The local section has a ratio of power able to be fed in using converters to a total power able to be fed in by all infeed apparatuses of at least 50%. A controller controls the infeed of the electrical power depending on a network state of the network. The controller has control behavior that depends on a network characteristic of the local section. The network characteristic is dependent on at least one property of the local section and at least one property of a further network section of the network or a determination that no further network section is present.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the energy production to be expected for a wind power installation for a forecast time period, which may be an expected annual energy production. The installation has installation components. In the method, at least one of the installation components is selected as a thermally relevant component and chronologically distributed wind speed values are specified for the forecast time period. An expected power output level of the installation is determined for one of the wind speed values. In the power output level determining step, a component temperature which is assigned to this wind speed value is taken into account by the at least one thermally relevant component. The expected power output level of the installation, which is determined for the wind speed value, is used to determine the energy production of the installation which is to be expected for the forecast time period.

    Abstract: A method and system of controlling operation of wind turbines is provided, the method including (a) receiving a parameter value which is based on at least one sensor signal, (b) determining a difference between the received parameter value and a predetermined value, (c) comparing the difference with a threshold value, and (d) if the difference is below the threshold value, operating the wind turbines in a first mode of operation, (e) if the difference is not below the threshold value, incrementing an alert counter, comparing the alert counter with an alert threshold value, operating the wind turbines in a second mode of operation if the alert counter is smaller than the alert threshold value or if the alert counter exceeds the second threshold value and the difference is decreasing, triggering an alarm if the alert counter exceeds the alert threshold value and the difference is not decreasing.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a multiphase separately excited synchronous generator in a wind turbine is provided. The generator has a stator and an armature having an excitation input, connected to an excitation controller, for inputting an excitation current or an excitation voltage. The stator has a stator output, connected to a rectifier, for delivering stator currents. The rectifier is controllable to control the stator currents by detecting a speed of the armature or rotor, determining a setpoint power to be delivered by the generator or the turbine based on the speed, determining an excitation current or voltage based on the detected speed and determined setpoint power, inputting the excitation current or voltage by excitation controller at the excitation input, determining the stator currents as setpoint stator currents based on the speed and the setpoint power, and controlling the rectifier to set the stator currents to the setpoint stator currents.
