It is intended to provide a wind turbine generator (1) and an operation method of the wind turbine generator (1), by 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. A wind turbine generator (1) is provided with a present wind speed obtaining unit (24) for obtaining a present wind speed acting on the wind turbine generator (1), a wind speed measuring unit (20) for measuring the future wind speed acting on the 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 generator (1) based on the predicted wind speed. |
