Abstract
A method for operating a wind farm comprising several wind turbines that are connected to an internal grid of the wind farm is disclosed. In the method, during a mains failure the electrical consumers of the wind turbines are supplied with electrical energy by a mains replacement supply unit. Each electrical consumer of the wind turbines is assigned to one of at least two groups and according to the group assignment is always switched on by an operation control unit when required, or only switched on if there is a sufficient power reserve. The wind farm is designed to carry out the method.
