Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a wind turbine that comprises a rotor (106) having at least two rotor blades (108), an electrical generator that is directly or indirectly coupled to the rotor (106) of the wind turbine and said generator generates electrical power while the rotor (106) rotates, and a control unit (120) for controlling the operation of the wind turbine. The control unit (120) activates a first malfunction operating mode if parameters of a supply network exceed or fall below a threshold value. The control unit (120) is embodied in the first operating mode for the purpose of reducing the rotational speed of the rotor (106) to zero and for the purpose of activating a consumer (400) in order to consume, by means of the consumer (400), the electrical power that is generated in the malfunction operating mode by means of the generator.
