Abstract

A method for operating a wind farm having a plurality of wind power installations is provided. The installations each comprise an aerodynamic rotor, and the rotors each have an aerodynamic characteristic value. The method includes: obtaining a setpoint power value of the wind farm, in particular a setpoint value of the electrical power of the wind farm to be fed in, ascertaining an actual power value of the wind farm as the sum of actual electrical powers of the operated wind power installations, determining a permissibility of a power-reduced operating mode of each of the wind power installations of the wind farm on the basis of the associated aerodynamic characteristic value, and operating the wind power installations of the wind farm such that each operated wind power installation is operated in a permissible operating mode and the ascertained actual power value does not exceed the obtained setpoint power value.
