Abstract: A method for controlling a generating unit that feeds into an electrical supply system. The generating unit feeds into the electrical supply system using one or more converters or inverters. The method is provided for the purpose of detecting a system separation or formation of a separate system, and the method includes controlling the feed by a feed controller operating with at least one current controller, detecting at least one current control error and testing the detected current control error for a disparity from a predetermined reference range.
