Abstract

A method and apparatus for operating a wind park having maximum permissible output power and a plurality of wind power installations wherein each wind power installation includes an output power and a maximum rated output power. The apparatus, in one aspect, includes a processing unit that is coupled to the plurality of wind power installations to control the output power of at least one of the wind power installations. The processing unit may determine the total output power of all of the plurality of wind power installations and, in response thereto, control the output power of at least one of the plurality of wind power installation so that the total output power of all of the plurality of wind power installations does not exceed the maximum permissible output power of the wind park. The method for operating the wind park, in one aspect, includes determining the output power of the plurality of wind power installations and controlling the output power of at least one of the plurality of wind power installations by reducing the output power of at least one of the plurality of wind power installations if the total output power of all of the plurality of wind power installations exceeds the maximum permissible output power of the wind park.
