Abstract

The invention relates to a method for feeding electrical power of at least one wind turbine or of a wind farm into an electrical supply network having a network voltage and a network frequency, wherein the method is prepared for feeding in active electrical power and reactive electrical power and the fed-in active power can be adjusted on the basis of at least one network state by means of an active-power controller and/or the fed-in reactive power can be adjusted on the basis of at least one network state by means of a reactive-power controller and the active-power controller and/or the reactive-power controller can be changed according to type and/or parameterization.

feeding real electric power and reactive electric power into the electric power supply network;
adjusting the fed-in real electric power as a function of at least one first network state via a real power control and adjusting the fed-in reactive electric power as a function of at least one second network state via a reactive power control, wherein the first network state and the second network state include at least one of the network voltage or the network frequency;
adjusting a type and/or parameterization of the real power control based on the at least one first network state to provide an adjusted real power control and adjusting a type and/or parameterization of the reactive power control based on the at least one second network state to provide an adjusted reactive power control; and
adjusting the fed-in real electric power as a function of the at least one first network state via the adjusted real power control and adjusting the fed-in reactive electric power as a function of the at least one second network state via the adjusted reactive power control.
