A method for the operation of a wind park with a plurality of wind energy plants, which each one have one control unit at a time, which can control and/or adjust the wind energy plant in response to a received desired value for an electric variable, the method having the following steps: a higher order control calculates and/or receives a currently permitted maximum value for the electric variable which the wind park is allowed to provide, the higher order control determines a desired value for the electric variable for each wind energy plant and forwards the same to the wind energy plants, characterized in that the higher order control determines the desired value for each one of the wind energy plants depending on the currently maximum and/or minimum available values of all the wind energy plants.
