WIND TURBINE AND METHOD FOR OPERATING A WIND TURBINE
First Claim
1. A method for operating a wind turbine, the wind turbine comprising a wind rotor having at least one rotor blade and a generator connected to the wind rotor, wherein the generator is adapted to be connected to a grid, wherein the method comprises:
- adjusting at least one wind turbine parameter to increase the rotational speed of the wind rotor;
increasing the rotational speed of the wind rotor;
during increasing of the rotational speed of the wind rotor determining if the wind turbine would exceed a predetermined amount of energy to be fed into the grid at the actual wind rotor rotational speed; and
during increasing of the rotational speed of the wind rotor connecting the wind turbine to the grid if determining that the wind turbine would exceed the predetermined amount of energy to be fed into the grid.
