A method for controlling a wind turbine for feeding electrical power into an electrical supply grid, and the wind turbine comprises - a tower with a nacelle arranged rotatably on it, - an aerodynamic rotor, which can be driven by wind, - a generator, which is coupled to the aerodynamic rotor and is intended for generating electrical power from wind, - a power unit for controlling the generator for controlling electrical power output by the generator and/or for controlling a generator torque and - a feed-in unit for feeding the electrical power output by the generator or part thereof into the electrical supply grid, and the method comprises the steps of - controlling the wind turbine such that, in normal operation, an electrical feed-in power is fed into the electrical supply grid in dependence on the wind, - changing the electrical feed-in power in dependence on a grid state (f N) and/or a grid demand (ΔP S) of the electrical supply grid, wherein - the changing of the electrical feed-in power being guided such that a specifiable mechanical, in particular momentary, loading limit of the wind turbine is maintained, characterized in that the changing of the electrical feed-in power is controlled such that - following a generator torque exceeding a torque limit value predetermined in terms of amount, a further generator torque exceeding the predetermined torque limit value is suppressed for a predetermined recovery time period or is limited to the torque limit value, in particular for 5 to 30 seconds, and/or - in the case of a decaying oscillation of the generator torque with a maximum amplitude that exceeds a predetermined amplitude limit value, a further generator torque pulse with at least half the amplitude of the amplitude limit value is avoided, - until the decaying oscillation has decayed to an amplitude that lies below a predetermined amplitude decay value, which is chosen in particular to be less than 25% of the amplitude limit value, or - until a predetermined decay time, which lies in particular in the range from 5 to 30 seconds, has elapsed. - a tower with a nacelle arranged rotatably on it, - an aerodynamic rotor, which can be driven by wind, - a generator, which is coupled to the aerodynamic rotor and is intended for generating electrical power from wind, - a power unit for controlling the generator for controlling electrical power output by the generator and/or for controlling a generator torque and - a feed-in unit for feeding the electrical power output by the generator or part thereof into the electrical supply grid, and the method comprises the steps of - controlling the wind turbine such that, in normal operation, an electrical feed-in power is fed into the electrical supply grid in dependence on the wind, - changing the electrical feed-in power in dependence on a grid state (f N) and/or a grid demand (ΔP S) of the electrical supply grid, wherein - the changing of the electrical feed-in power being guided such that a specifiable mechanical, in particular momentary, loading limit of the wind turbine is maintained, characterized in that the changing of the electrical feed-in power is controlled such that - following a generator torque exceeding a torque limit value predetermined in terms of amount, a further generator torque exceeding the predetermined torque limit value is suppressed for a predetermined recovery time period or is limited to the torque limit value, in particular for 5 to 30 seconds, and/or - in the case of a decaying oscillation of the generator torque with a maximum amplitude that exceeds a predetermined amplitude limit value, a further generator torque pulse with at least half the amplitude of the amplitude limit value is avoided, - until the decaying oscillation has decayed to an amplitude that lies below a predetermined amplitude decay value, which is chosen in particular to be less than 25% of the amplitude limit value, or - until a predetermined decay time, which lies in particular in the range from 5 to 30 seconds, has elapsed.
