Abstract

A method for controlling a wind energy installation having a rotor which is rotatable about a rotor axis and which has at least one rotor blade and a generator coupled thereto. The method includes detecting a value of a forefield parameter, in particular a forefield wind parameter, which is present at a first point in time and in a first region which first region is at a first distance from the wind energy installation, in particular from the rotor blade, in particular detecting a sequence of values of the forefield parameter up to the first point in time with the aid of at least one sensor, and controlling the generator and/or at least one actuator of the wind energy installation on the basis of this detected forefield parameter value, in particular this detected forefield parameter value sequence, and a machine-learned relationship of a predicted near field parameter, in particular a predicted near field wind parameter, at the wind energy installation and/or of an operating parameter of the wind energy installation predicted for a later, second point in time and/or of a control variable of the actuator and/or of the generator to the forefield parameter or the forefield parameter sequences.
