Zusammenfassung:The present invention relates to a method for controlling airborne wind energy systems (AWES), e.g. with kites, in a wind energy park connected to an electrical grid. By appropriately controlling these AWES to produce electrical power to the electrical grid by alternating between a power production phase and a recovery phase by cable control or changing kite aerodynamics, it is possible to better balance the supply of the net power production to the electrical grid. In this way, the invention may stabilize the electrical grid and can have a grid forming capability. Furthermore, the wind energy park may stabilize the grid during a fault ride-through (FRT) event.
