ABSTRACT:
A wind power generator system including: a windmill rotor including a blade having a variable pitch angle; a generator driven by the windmill rotor; and a control unit controlling the output power of the generator and the pitch angle of the blade in response to the rotational speed of the windmill rotor or the generator. The control unit performs a first control in which the output power is controlled in accordance with a predetermined power-rotational speed curve until the rotational speed is increased to reach a predetermined rated rotational speed, and performs a second control in which the output power is controlled to a predetermined rated power when the rotational speed exceeds the rated rotational speed; the control unit is responsive to the pitch angle for maintaining a state of performing the second control is or for switching to a state of performing the first control, when the rotational speed is reduced below the rated rotational speed after the control unit is once placed into the state of performing the second control. This provides a wind power generator system which suppresses output power fluctuation and generation efficiency reduction when a transient wind null occurs.
