Abstract

This application discloses a method, device, and apparatus for maintaining a wind turbine generator plant, which relates to the field of wind power generation. The method includes determining a failure of the wind turbine generator plant when the wind turbine generator plant enters a shutdown maintenance mode; determining a maintenance wind speed corresponding to the failure; adjusting one of blades of the wind turbine generator plant to reach a predetermined azimuth angle and lock an impeller of the wind turbine generator plant to maintain the wind turbine generator plant in a case where the failure belongs to a first type of failure and a real-time wind speed obtained is less than or equal to the maintenance wind speed corresponding to the failure, the first type of failure comprising a failure that requires to lock the impeller for maintenance and the predetermined azimuth angle being a different integral multiple of 30°.
