Method for the operation of a wind farm
A method for the operation of a wind farm having two or more wind energy plants, which has a farm control which presets a desired value for an electric variable of the wind farm which has to be generated, wherein the farm control calculates an average increase of the real values of the electric variable for at least one time interval continuously, and compares it with a maximum value for the increase of the electric variable in the respective time interval, the farm control determines a proposal of a desired value for each predetermined time interval, based on a real value of the electric variable which was averaged continuously over the time interval, and in the case that the average increase in the at least one time interval is smaller than the maximum value in the corresponding time interval, the farm control determines a new desired value of the electric variable of the wind farm, with a selection of the desired value as the smallest of several proposals for a desired value.
1. A method for operating a wind farm having two or more wind energy plants, which has a farm control which presets a desired value for an electric variable of the wind farm to be generated, wherein
the farm control continuously calculates an average increase of an actual value of the electric variable for at least one predetermined time interval and compares it with a maximum value of the electric variable in the predetermined time interval,
the farm control determines a new desired value of the electric variable, if the average increase of the actual values of the electric variable was lower than the maximum value of the electric variable in each of the predetermined time intervals by
determining a proposal for a desired value for each predetermined time interval from the actual values averaged over the predetermined time interval, plus the maximum value for an increase of the electric variable in the predetermined time interval multiplied by a gradient factor, wherein the gradient factor is greater than zero and smaller than one, and selecting the new desired value of the electric variable as the a minimum of plural proposals for the desired value.
2. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that values for a maximum permissible change of the electric variable applied externally to the farm control are considered as additional proposals for a desired value in the selection of the desired value.
3. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that in addition, the wind farm control apportions the desired value for the electric variable of the wind farm to the at least two wind energy plants.
4. The method according to claim 3 , characterized in that the apportionment of the desired value to the two or more wind energy plants takes place depending on the actual value of the electric variable of the individual wind energy plants.
5. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that the gradient factor is constant.
6. The method according to claim 1 , characterized in that the gradient factor depends on a length of the time interval.

8. The method according to claim 1 , characterised in that in a starting phase of the wind farm, an offset is added to each of the proposals for a desired value for the time intervals.
9. The method according to claim 8 , characterised in that the offset decreases with increasing time duration since the beginning of the starting phase.
