Abstract
A method for operating a wind turbine wherein a parameter for a wind hitting the wind turbine is determined from present values for the generator speed and/or the wind speed at each point in time (t). A temporal change variable is formed for the parameter at each point in time (t). For the temporal change variables, which occurred in a past time interval, the third and/or fourth statistical moment is calculated for a distribution of the temporal change values in the time interval. If at least one of the statistical moments exceeds a predetermined value, then a detection signal is set for an extreme gust, which triggers one or both of the steps: increasing a setpoint value for the blade pitch angle starting from an actual value thereof, and reducing a setpoint value for the generator speed starting from an actual value thereof.
