Abstract
A method for operating a plurality of wind energy installations configured for supplying electric power to an electrical supply system, that each have an aerodynamic rotor with rotor blades and an electrical generator and also operating equipment, is disclosed. The wind energy installations are operated while they are not connected to the electrical supply system, where at least one of the wind energy installations produces electric power and inputs the electric power into a local DC voltage system that connects the wind energy installations if the at least one of the wind energy installations currently produces more power than needed for supplying its own operating equipment. Additionally or alternatively, the operating equipment is supplied totally or in part with power from the local DC voltage system if the at least one of the wind energy installations currently produces less power than needed for supplying its operating equipment.
