A method for adjusting the azimuth of a wind power plant, in which, during an azimuthal rotation of a machine housing with a rotor on a tower of the wind power plant, a constant residual pressure for generating a constant residual holding torque is applied to at least one azimuth braking device. Also an azimuth adjustment system for a wind power plant and to a wind power plant. In the disclosed method, the constant residual pressure and/or the constant residual holding torque are/is set as a function of at least one wind speed parameter before commencement of the azimuthal rotation, and the residual pressure and/or the residual holding torque are/is not changed during the azimuthal rotation, in particular during energization of azimuth drive motors.

Method for adjusting the azimuth of a wind power plant, azimuth adjustment system and wind power plant

A method for operating a wind turbine (). The wind turbine () is operated with variable rotational speed between predeterminable minimum and maximum rotational speeds. A characteristic variable () of an oscillation of the wind turbine () is detected. The wind turbine () includes a tower () and a rotor (). An open-loop or closed-loop control device () provides open-loop control or closed-loop control of the rotational speed of the rotor () between a minimum rotational speed and a maximum rotational speed during a power-supplying operation of the wind turbine. A sensor () detects a characteristic variable () of an oscillation of the wind turbine () and the minimum rotational speed is changed depending on the characteristic value () of the oscillation. The minimum rotational speed is altered depending on the characteristic variable () of the oscillation by the open-loop or closed-loop control device ().
