Abstract

The invention relates to a method for operating a wind turbine and to a wind turbine (2) comprising a tower (4) that is secured in a foundation (3) and a nacelle (5) that is supported by the tower and is provided with a rotor (6), in addition to a compressor unit (10) that is situated in the nacelle and is connected to a compressed air accumulator, the compressed air accumulator supplying compressed air to an electric generator in order to convert the air into electrical energy and to homogenize the energy production on the output side. The invention provides a method of this type and a wind turbine of this type which permit a more efficient operation and a construction that is significantly simpler and independent of location, in particular for medium-term energy production intervals. To achieve this, the tower (4) is sealed and the compressed air generated by the compressor unit (10) is fed to said tower for intermediate storage. The tower is sealed off from the exterior and designed as a tower accumulator (12) and the compressor unit (10) that is connected to the rotor (6) by means of a drive shaft (8) and an interconnecting gearbox (9) has a pressure line (13) connected to the tower accumulator.
