ABSTRACT:
A system and method for operating a wind turbine with a generator, drivable by a rotor, for supplying electrical power to an electric load, in particular an electric grid, are disclosed. Briefly described, one embodiment generates electrical power from an electrical generator coupled to the wind turbine, outputs the generated electrical power to an electric grid, senses a disruption in the electric grid, maintains connection of the electrical generator during the disruption, and limits the generated electrical power during at least a portion of the disruption.
