Abstract
A method of operating a wind turbine power generating apparatus including a wind turbine rotor having a wind turbine blade includes: a step of obtaining a load applied to the wind turbine blade; and a step of selecting an operation mode of the wind turbine power generating apparatus on the basis of the load, from among a plurality of operation modes including a normal operation mode and at least one load-suppressing operation mode in which the load applied to the wind turbine blade is smaller than in the normal operation mode.
