Abstract: A method for controlling a wind turbine with a wind rotor (2), a doubly-fed induction generator (1) driven therewith, and a converter (4), which is electrically connected to feed electrical energy into an electrical grid (8) with at least one grid parameter, and having a controller with a memory in which rotation rate parameters are stored, characterized in that at least one variable characteristic curve is determined between at least one of the rotation rate parameters and the at least one grid parameter, the at least one characteristic is stored in the memory, the at least one grid parameter is measured, the grid parameter measurements are fed to the controller, the values of the at least one rotation rate parameter associated with the grid parameter measurements via the at least one characteristic curve are activated.

Abstract: A converter controller is provided, by which the current valves are controlled by means of a switching frequency. It is provided to alter the switching frequency in a step-wise manner between a first and at least one second integral multiple of the grid frequency. According to the invention, this is effected in that the switching frequency is switched over cyclically, and a frequency spacing between the switching frequencies is at least double the grid frequency, specifically in such a manner that none of the switching frequencies is an integral multiple of another of the switching frequencies. In this way, harmonics can be selectively reduced, no intermediate frequencies being produced, owing to the integrality in relation to the grid frequency.
