A method is provided for controlling a wind turbine that has a generator that is controlled via a converter in a boost operation, in which an electrical power that is fed into an electrical transmission network is increased via a generative deceleration of the generator. The method comprises using a control to determining a set point value for a generator torque depending on an actual value of a rotational speed. The determined set point value for the generator torque is applied to a generator via a limiter with a predefinable upper and lower limit. Determining the set point value for the generator torque in boost operation that leads to an increased fed-in electrical power in response to a boost signal; and limiting a temporal change of the set point value for the generator torque in a recovery operation in response to a recovery signal.

Method for controlling a wind turbine

A method for controlling a wind turbine comprising inputting an actual value of rotational speed and a rotational speed setpoint into a control and outputting a set point value for a generator torque from the control. Inputting the set point value for the generator torque into a limiter with a predefinable upper and lower limit and outputting a limited torque value that is fed into a converter control. Increasing the actual value of the fed-in electrical power by an additional amount of power in response to a boost signal, wherein the fed-in electrical power and the additional amount of power are combined into an aggregated power setpoint value. Determining the set point value for the generator torque from the aggregated power setpoint value and applying the set point value for the generator torque in the boost operation to the limiter both as the upper limit and as the lower limit.
