Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a wind power plant, a wind power plant designed to carry out the method, and a corresponding computer program product. In the method for operating a wind power plant comprising a rotor having angle-adjustable rotor blades and a generator rotationally connected thereto and having a controllable torque, the torque of the generator is limited to a maximum value which is linked to the blade pitch angle of the rotor blades such that the maximum value at the switch-on blade pitch angle value is less than or equal to the rated torque value (MNenn) and the maximum value at a rated blade pitch angle which deviates from the switch-on blade pitch angle is equal to the rated torque value (MNenn).
