    Abstract: A method of detecting a damage of a wind turbine blade of a wind turbine rotor includes: a light input step of inputting light into a fiber-optic sensor mounted to the wind turbine blade; a light detection step of detecting reflection light from the grating portion; an obtaining step of obtaining a wavelength fluctuation index representing a fluctuation amount of a wavelength of the reflection light detected in the light detection step; and a detection step. The detection step includes detecting the presence or the absence of the damage of the wind turbine blade based on the wavelength fluctuation index taking account of a correlation between the wavelength fluctuation index of the wind turbine blade and a load index related to a load applied to the wind turbine blade, or a correlation between the wavelength fluctuation index and a temperature index related to a temperature of the wind turbine blade.
