Abstract
A system and method are provided for controlling a wind. Accordingly, a current condition of a generator of the wind turbine is determined, and an approach of the current condition to a current-dependent limit is detected. The speed of the generator is affected so as to alter a rotor/stator balance of the generator such that the current-dependent limit is not exceeded and the wind turbine can operate at a rated power.
