The invention relates to a method for operating a power converter (10) for exchanging electrical power (PDC,PAC) between a DC unit (11) and an AC grid (13). The DC unit (11) is connected to a DC connection (12) of the power converter (10) and exchanges a DC power (PDC) with the power converter (10) on the basis of a
DC voltage (UDC) at the DC connection (12), and the AC grid (13) is connected to an AC connection (14) of the power converter (10) and exchanges an
AC power (PAC) with the power converter (10) via the AC connection (14) on the basis of a
voltage curve deviation between an AC
voltage curve (UAC) generated by a clocked
bridge circuit (15) of the power converter (10) and a
grid voltage curve (Ugrid). The power converter (10) adjusts the AC
voltage curve (UAC) on the basis of an
AC power control value (PAC,set) by means of a grid-forming AC controller (20) and varies the
AC power (PAC) by means of an adjustable induced power response for network events. The induced power response comprises a dynamic AC power deviation between the AC power (PAC) and a power
setpoint value. The method is characterized in that the induced power response to a network event is adjusted using an
asymmetry characteristic curve (50, 51, 52, 53). The
asymmetry characteristic curve (50, 51, 52, 53) specifies different increases of a parameter (p) of the AC controller (20) and / or a DC controller (30) as a function of the sign of a deviation (p-plim) of the parameter (p) from a parameter
limit value (plim), wherein the parameter (p) comprises in particular a
DC voltage difference (ΔUDC) between the
DC voltage (UDC) and a DC
setpoint voltage (UDC,set) and / or an AC
power difference (ΔPAC) between the AC power (PAC) and the AC
power control value (PAC,set). The invention further relates to a power converter and to an
energy supply
