Abstract
A method of diagnosing a wind turbine power generating apparatus includes: an operation step of operating a pitch actuator corresponding to one of a plurality of wind turbine blades of the wind turbine power generating apparatus, without operating a pitch actuator corresponding to each of the wind turbine blades other than the one of the plurality of wind turbine blades; and a measurement step of measuring a response value indicating a response to operation of the pitch actuator corresponding to the one of the plurality of wind turbine blades. The operation step and the measurement step are performed repeatedly for each of the plurality of wind turbine blades, and the response value is obtained as data for health check of a blade pitch mechanism of the wind turbine power generating apparatus.
