Abstract
A method is provided for operating a wind power plant (-) with a rotor-driven (-) electric generator () for delivering electric power to an electric grid () which provides a grid voltage in which, when excess voltage prevails in the grid (), idle power from the wind power plant (-) is fed to the grid () in order to lower the voltage. A wind power plant is provided (-) with a rotor-driven electric generator () for delivering electric power to an electric grid () in which when excess voltage prevails in the grid idle power from the wind power plant (-) is fed to the grid () in order to lower the voltage. Monitoring occurs to determine whether within a predeterminable time a voltage was lowered to a predeterminable reference value and/or an idle current is delivered which is greater than or equal to a predeterminable idle current reference value.
