PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a wind turbine generating device and an operation control method for the same by means of which benefits of operation control based on a future wind speed can be enjoyed even in the case where a sampling frequency of a wind speed detector for measuring the future wind speed is low.SOLUTION: A wind turbine generating device 1 includes: a present wind speed obtaining unit 24 for obtaining a present wind speed acting on the wind turbine generating device 1; a wind speed measuring unit 20 for measuring a future wind speed acting on a blade 2 after a prescribed period of time from a present point of time by measuring a wind speed at a measuring position anterior to a wind turbine; a wind speed predicting unit 36, 56 for predicting a wind speed in a period from the present point to a point after the prescribed period of time, based on at least the present wind speed and the future wind speed; and an operation control unit 38, 58 for controlling the wind turbine generating device 1 based on the predicted wind speed. |
