Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Electrical power is fed from a wind energy installation into an AC voltage system via an energy transmission path, which is delimited by an installation-side transformer and a system-side transformer. A power factor correction device is connected, at a common node between the energy transmission path and the AC voltage system using a closed-loop control device, which controls the wind energy installation and which receives a variable which is proportional to the reactive power on the energy transmission path and a further measured variable. A measurement signal produced at the output of the power factor correction device is used as further measured variable. The closed-loop controller has such a control characteristic that the voltage on the low-voltage side of the system-side transformer increases, depending on the reactive power on the energy transmission path, from the inductive range to the capacitive range.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of operating a system for feeding electrical power from a wind energy installation into an AC voltage system via an energy transmission path, which is delimited on one side by an installation-side transformer and on another side by a system-side transformer with a power factor correction device connected thereto, at a common node between the energy transmission path and the AC voltage system, the method comprising: determining a variable that…
