The invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine, a wind farm, or the like and a power-to-gas unit electrically connected thereto. The wind turbine or the wind farm generates electrical power when there is adequate wind and feeds the electrical power into an electric network connected to the wind turbine or to the wind farm. Each wind turbine is operated with a predetermined power curve. Electrical power is generated by the wind turbine or the wind farm once a first wind velocity (start wind) is reached. The wind turbine or the wind farm is in partial-load operation as long as the wind velocity lies between the first wind velocity (start wind) and a second wind velocity (nominal wind). The wind turbine or the wind farm is in a nominal power range if the wind velocity lies in a range that is greater than the second wind velocity (nominal wind velocity). Electrical power generated by the wind turbine or the wind farm, preferably at least a predetermined part thereof, is consumed in the power-to-gas unit, such that a combustible gas, in particular hydrogen and/or methane gas or the like, is produced in the power-to-gas unit. The portion of the electrical power that the wind turbine or the wind farm generates in partial-load operation and that is not consumed in the power-to-gas unit is set nearly constant for a predetermined time period, for example 10 minutes or more, for example 1 hour. |
