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.
