The invention claimed is: 1. A method for controlling operation of a wind park comprising a first wind energy turbine and other wind energy turbines, the first wind energy turbine being connected to a power grid by a switch, in a situation where the first wind energy turbine operates substantially at zero energy output level, the method comprising the steps of: determining whether at least one of the other wind energy turbines operates above a predetermined energy output level; and if at least one of the other wind energy turbines operates above the predetermined energy output level, maintaining the connection of the first wind energy turbine to the power grid so that switching cycles of the switch are reduced. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one of the other wind energy turbines comprises at least two of the other wind energy turbines which are not adjacent to the first wind energy turbine. 3. A method for controlling operation of a wind park comprising a first wind energy turbine and other wind energy turbines each connected to a power grid, the first wind energy turbine being in wake when wind blows in a predetermined wind direction range, in a situation where the first wind energy turbine operates substantially at zero energy output level, the method comprising the steps of: determining a current wind direction at the wind park; and if the determined current wind direction is within the predetermined wind direction range, disconnecting the first wind energy turbine from the power grid. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the first wind energy turbine is in wake when wind blows in the predetermined wind direction because of a topology of a surrounding area of the wind park. 5. The method of claim 3, wherein the first wind energy turbine is in wake when wind blows in the predetermined wind direction because of one of the other wind energy turbines. 6. The method of claim 3, if the first wind energy turbine is disconnected from the power grind, the method further comprising the steps of: determining a current wind direction at the wind park again; and if the newly determined current wind direction is outside the predetermined wind direction range, connecting the first wind energy turbine to the power grid after at least one of the other wind energy turbines operates above a predetermined energy output level. 7. A method for controlling operation of a wind park comprising a first wind energy turbine and other wind energy turbines each connected to a power grid, the other wind energy turbines surrounding the first wind energy turbine, in a situation where the first wind energy turbine operates substantially at zero energy output level, the method comprising the steps of: determining whether each of the other wind energy turbines operates above a predetermined energy output level; and if each of the other wind energy turbines operates above a predetermined energy output level, disconnecting the first wind energy turbine from the power grid.
