Abstract
The method for operating a frequency converter (26) of a generator (14) in particular of a wind energy turbine (10), in the event of a substantial grid voltage drop, wherein the frequency converter (26) comprises a generator-side power converter (32), to be connected to the generator (14), a grid-side power converter (28) to be connected to the voltage grid (18), and a DC link circuit (30) for connecting the generator-side power converter (32) to the grid-side power converter (28), comprises the step of generating the amount of reactive current to be supplied to the grid (18) by controlling the frequency converter (26).
