The invention relates to a method of operating a wind farm intended for connection to an
electric power network, which wind farm includes at least two wind
turbine generator systems (WEA1, WEA2, WEA3, WEA4, WEA5). At least one actual value (vt1(WEA1), . . . , vt3(WEA5)) for a
wind speed or a parameter associated with
wind speed is determined for each of the at least two wind
turbine generator systems (WEA1, WEA2, . . . , WEA5), and the at least two wind
turbine generator systems (WEA1, WEA2, WEA3, WEA4, WEA5) are divided at least temporarily into at least two predeterminable groups (G1, G2, G3). At least one first disconnect value (At1(G1), At2(G1), At3(G1)) is assigned to each wind turbine generator
system of the first group (G1), and at least one second disconnect value (At1(G2), At2(G2), At3(G2)), which is different from the at least one first disconnect value (At1(G1), At2(G1), At3(G1)), is assigned to each wind turbine generator
system of the second group (G2). The at least one actual value (vt1(WEA1), . . . , vt3(WEA5)) is assigned one of the disconnect values (At1(G1), . . . , At3(G3)), and the actual values (vt1(WEA1), . . . , vt3(WEA3)) are compared with the assigned disconnect values (At1(G1), . . . , At3(G3)), and, when a disconnect value (At1(G1), . . . , At3(G3)) is exceeded by the assigned actual value (vt1(WEA1), . . . , vt3(WEA3)), the wind turbine generator
system or group of wind turbine generator systems (G1, G2, G3) which is assigned to the disconnect value (At1(G1), . . . , At3(G3)) is automatically disconnected.
