Abstract:
A wind turbine includes a plurality of wind turbine blades; a plurality of hydraulic actuators for controlling respective pitch angles of the wind turbine blades; a first tank storing control oil for the hydraulic actuators; a first hydraulic pump disposed between the plurality of hydraulic actuators and the first tank, for pumping the control oil; a plurality of valves each of which is provided for corresponding one of the hydraulic actuators, for controlling a supply state of the control oil to the hydraulic actuator; and a control part for controlling each of the valves. The control part is configured to, in warm-up of a pitch hydraulic system of the plurality of wind turbine blades, perform an oil transfer operation of changing the pitch angle of the wind turbine blade from a feather side toward a fine side and then returning the pitch angle to the feather side.
