Abstract: The method is for operating a wind turbine having a wind turbine component and a setting system for executing at least two different measures for reducing the likelihood of overloading the component. First trigger information is provided, which is representative of whether the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component exceeds a first threshold. If this is the case, a first output signal is generated which is configured to cause the setting system to execute a first measure for reducing the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component. Second trigger information is provided which is representative of whether the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component exceeds a second threshold after the first measure was executed. If so, a second output signal is generated which is configured to cause the setting system to execute a second measure for reducing the likelihood of overloading the wind turbine component.

Abstract: A method for operating a wind turbine comprises capturing an actual value of a fed-in power (Pact) and determining a power deviation based on the captured actual value of the fed-in power (Pact). A signal value is set for a correction of a setpoint value for the rotor blade pitch angle when one of the power deviation exceeds a predetermined maximum value and the power deviation exceeds a maximum gradient threshold value over a specified period of time. The signal value is cleared when one of the power deviation falls below a predetermined minimum value and a grid voltage value is located in a predetermined band around a specified target voltage value. A correction value (d?/dt*) is determined for the setpoint value of the rotor blade pitch angle depending on the power deviation and applied to a rotor blade pitch control when the signal value is set.

Abstract: A method controls the rotational speed of a wind turbine having a tower, a nacelle mounted on the tower and a drive train which includes a rotor having at least one rotor blade. The rotor is rotatably mounted about a rotor axis in the nacelle. The drive train further includes a generator configured to be driven by the rotor. In a nacelle-fixed reference system, the rotational speed (?G*) of a component of the drive train which rotates with the rotor in correspondence to a transmission ratio (Ue) is measured. A movement of the nacelle relative to the ground is measured and the rotational speed is controlled to a rotational speed setpoint with a speed controller which outputs a generator torque (MG) and/or a blade pitch angle (?). The measured rotational speed (?G*) is converted into a corrected rotational speed (?GC) which corresponds to the rotational speed of the rotor in a ground-fixed reference system multiplied by the transmission ratio (Ue).
