Abstract
A method and associated apparatus for operating a power station of fluctuating electrical capacity that, besides a voltage-setting system former outputting active power and reactive power and at least one load, is connected to a limited AC grid. The method and associated apparatus includes defining a desired self-contained operating range of the system former on the PQ level, in which operating range the system former is able to efficiently correct fluctuations arising in a mains voltage of the AC grid, ascertaining a present operating point of the system former on the PQ level, and controlling an output of active power and reactive power by the power station such that the operating point of the system former is kept in the desired operating range.
