A method of operating a wind turbine is provided. The wind turbine comprises a turbine rotor with at least one blade having a variable pitch angle, a power generator, and a power converter connected to the power generator via a first circuit breaker and to a power grid via a second circuit breaker. According to the method, overvoltage events at the power grid are monitored. If an overvoltage event is detected, the method comprises opening the first circuit breaker and the second circuit breaker, disabling active operation of the power converter, connecting a power dissipating unit to the power generator to dissipate power output from the power generator, and moving the pitch angle of the at least one blade towards a feathered position. |
