Abstract

Method for the operation of a wind power plant with controllable effective power, wherein an idle power interval defined by a minimum idle power and a maximum idle power is assigned to each value of the effective power and the actual idle power can be controlled within this interval, characterized in that the effective power is reduced when a target idle power lies outside of the idle power interval assigned to the current effective power.
