WIND TURBINE GENERATOR AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME

摘要

An object of the invention is to reduce stop time of a wind turbine generator 1 caused by icing on a wind turbine blade 10 in the wind turbine generator 1. The invention provides the wind turbine generator 1 including an ice detecting unit 7 for detecting an amount of icing on a wind turbine blade 10, wherein an operation mode is switched to a no-load operation mode with no power being generated in a case where the icing amount detected by the ice detecting unit 7 exceeds a first predetermined value, and an icing amount is detected by the ice detecting unit 7 in a state where the apparatus is operated in the no-load operation mode.
