Abstract

The method for controlling a first wind energy turbine of a wind park comprising multiple wind energy turbines connected to the grid, in situations where the first energy turbine operates substantially at zero energy output level, comprises the steps of determining whether at least one of the other wind energy turbines of the wind park is operated above a predetermined energy output level, and if at least one of the other wind energy turbines of the wind park is operated above the predetermined energy output level, maintaining connection of the first wind energy turbine to the grid.
