Abstract: According to the present invention, a wind turbine generator system is provided which can not only remove the influence of salt damage in case the system is established off-shore, but even if the facility becomes larger, which can also cool equipment and the generator provided in the tower and can reduce the possibility of decreasing power generation efficiency.

Abstract: A wind turbine able to generate power irrespective of a presence of and a state of a power grid is disclosed. Specifically, a wind power generation system is provided with a wind turbine, the wind turbine including a blade that rotates in response to the wind, a generator that rotates with rotation of the blade to generate power, and an auxiliary machine that controls a pitch angle of the blade. The auxiliary machine is driven by the generated power of a downwind type wind turbine to which a permanent magnet type generator is mounted and which generates power in a state in which a blade of the downwind type wind turbine rotating in response to the wind faces downwind.

Abstract: This invention is intended to provide a wind power generator system or method for controlling a wind power generator system, designed to implement switching-initiated smooth energy changeover without leading to a complex system configuration. The method of controlling a wind power generator system according to an aspect of the invention, wherein the generator system includes a wind turbine that uses wind to generate electric power and a control device that controls the wind turbine, is a control method designed so that when the wind turbine is generating power, the turbine drives the control device by use of the turbine-generated power, irrespective of an electric power system state.
