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.
