Abstract
According to the present disclosure, a method of operating a wind turbine () coupled to a power grid () for delivering electric power thereto is provided. The method includes: a) operating the wind turbine () in a noise reduction mode; b) determining whether the power grid () is in an unstable grid state corresponding to an increase of power demand; and, c) increasing the electric power delivered by the wind turbine () to the power grid () during a stabilization time period for supporting stabilization of the unstable grid. Further, the increasing of the electric power for supporting stabilization of the unstable grid is performed such that a resulting noise increase is below a selected upper level. In addition thereto, a control system and a wind turbine for performing the above method are provided.
