Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a wind power generation device and a control method therefor. [Prior Art] Previously, a wind power generating device that generates power using wind power of natural energy has been known. In the wind power generator, ice is generated in the wind turbine blade or the like due to the temperature drop of the outside air, and the supercooled water droplets or the water vapor in the air are caught by the wind turbine blade or the like. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method of detecting ice on a wind power generator. [Patent Document 1] U.S. Patent No. 7,086,8, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4 However, because the desired lift is not generated, the windmill wings will not rotate and the desired operation cannot be performed. However, in the past, when ice was generated before the wind power generation device was started, the operation of the wind power generation device was time-consuming, so that the operation efficiency of the wind power generation device was lowered. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a wind power generator and a control method thereof capable of reducing a stop time of a wind power generator caused by ice on a wind turbine blade. The first aspect of the present invention is an ice detecting means for detecting the ice amount of the wind turbine wing - 5, 201102498. 'When the amount of ice detected by the ice detecting means exceeds the first designated number, the operation will be performed. The mode is converted into a no-load operation mode in which power generation is not performed. The wind power generation device that detects the amount of ice by the above-described ice detection means in the operation state of the above-described no-load operation mode. According to the above configuration, when the amount of ice on the wind turbine detected by the ice detecting means exceeds the first specified 値, it is converted into the no-load operation mode, and the amount of ice is detected in the operating state of the no-load operation mode. . In the past, if the ice was stopped, the operation was stopped immediately. Therefore, for example, when the stop period is long, the machine equipped with the windmill will be cooled, so that it takes a long time to restart. On the other hand, the present invention continues to perform the operation in the no-load operation mode as described above, so that the warm-up can be continuously performed. In this way, for example, when the amount of ice is reduced when the no-load operation mode is implemented and the operation is resumed, the operation can be resumed from the state in which the machine is warmed up, and the time required to start the operation again can be shortened. Preferably, when the wind power generation device is operated in the no-load operation mode, the ice detecting means stops the operation when the amount of ice detected exceeds the second designated number greater than the first designated value. . According to the above configuration, when the amount of ice is less than or equal to the first designation of the first designation ’, the operation in the no-load operation mode is executed, and when the amount of ice exceeds the second predetermined 値, the operation is stopped. In this way, for example, when the second designation is set as the threshold of the amount of ice that causes the operation of the wind power generator to malfunction, the operation of the no-load operation mode can be continued as much as possible within a range in which the operation of the wind turbine is not hindered. It is possible to increase the chance of starting the operation again from the warm-up state. -6-201102498 Preferably, when the wind power generator is operated in the no-load operation mode, the ice-detecting means detects that the amount of ice is lower than the third designation set to be less than the first designation When it is ,, it is converted into the normal operation mode. As described above, when the amount of ice is lower than the third designation set to be less than or equal to the first predetermined value in the state of operating in the no-load operation mode, the mode is changed from the no-load operation mode to the normal operation mode. In this case, even if the amount of ice is once larger than the first designation, since the normal operation is resumed when the amount of ice is reduced, it is possible to prevent the operation efficiency of the wind power generation device from being lowered. Further, hysteresis is provided by the switching condition for switching from the normal operation to the no-load operation and the conversion condition for switching from the no-load operation to the normal operation, whereby the stability of the operation control can be achieved. Preferably, in the state in which the wind power generator is operated in the no-load operation mode, the number of rotations of the wind turbine rotor is set so that the ice attached to the wind turbine blade does not reach the surrounding wind power generator when the wind turbine rotor rotates. As described above, in the no-load operation mode, the number of rotations of the wind turbine rotor is set so as not to allow the ice attached to the wind turbine blade to reach the surrounding wind power generation device. In this way, it is possible to prevent the influence of the ice scattering attached to the wind turbine blade on the surroundings. The ice detecting means of the wind power generator may be configured to detect the amount of ice based on the physical characteristics of the wind turbine blade. In this way, the amount of ice can be calculated using the existing device. Further, physical characteristics such as deformation and the like. In the above-described ice detecting device of the wind turbine generator, when the amount of ice cannot be detected in the state of the stop state of the operation stop 102102498, it is preferable to switch to the no-load operation mode after the specified period of time has elapsed since the operation of the wind turbine is stopped, and the above-described no-load operation is performed. In the operating state of the operation mode, the amount of ice is detected by the above-described ice detecting means. As described above, when the no-load operation mode is executed after the predetermined period of time has elapsed from the operation stop state, the amount of ice can be detected while the operation is performed in the no-load operation mode. Therefore, it is possible to visually confirm the situation after restarting the ice. It can reduce the operation stop time. According to a second aspect of the present invention, in a no-load operation mode in which the amount of ice of the wind turbine blade is detected, when the ice a exceeds the first designation, the operation mode is changed to the non-power generation operation state, and the no-load operation mode is used. The operating state of the wind power generation device for detecting the amount of ice. According to the present invention, it is possible to achieve an effect of reducing the stop time of the wind power generator caused by the ice of the wind turbine blade. [Of. MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION] BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of a wind power generator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a schematic block diagram showing a wind power generator 1 according to the present embodiment. The wind power generator 1, as shown in Fig. 1, has a strut 2, an engine compartment 3 provided at the upper end of the strut 2, and a rotor head 4 which is provided with an engine compartment 3 which is rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis -8 - 201102498. The rotor head 4 is mounted with three wind turbine blades 1 呈 radially around its axis of rotation. As a result, the wind that hits the wind turbine blade 10 from the direction of the rotation axis of the rotor head 4 is converted into a power that can rotate the rotor head 4 about the rotation axis, and the power is transmitted via the generator provided in the wind power generator 1. Converted into electric energy. Further, the wind turbine generator 1 includes an ice detecting unit (ice detecting means) 7 for detecting the amount of ice of the wind turbine blade 10, and can detect the amount of ice of each wind turbine blade 1〇. In the present embodiment, the ice detecting unit 7 detects the amount of ice of each of the wind turbine blades 1 in a state in which the rotor head 4 is rotated, and includes a sensor unit 71 and a signal processing unit 72. The sensor unit 71 is provided in each of the wind turbine blades 10, and can detect deformation of the wind turbine blade 1〇, and outputs it to the signal processing unit 72. The signal processing unit 72 is provided inside the rotor head 4 and the like, and can receive the detection result of the sensor unit 71, and calculates the amount of ice of each of the wind turbine blades 10 from the detection result. The sensor unit 7 1 and the signal processing unit 72 are devices for measuring the associated load of the wind turbine blade 1 and are conventional devices. For example, the sensing portion 71 is an FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor. The FBG sensor is a sensor that reads a deformation or a thermally induced Bragg grid whose lattice spacing changes according to the wavelength change of the reflected light. The technique for calculating the deformation of the sensor unit 7 1 (FBG) and the signal processing unit 72 is a conventional technique (for example, product number WIND-SPECC-006-5 manufactured by Insensys Co., Ltd.), and therefore the detailed description of the use of the techniques is omitted. A method of calculating deformation or the like. More specifically, as shown in Fig. 2, the signal processing unit 72 includes a signal receiving unit 73, an ice amount calculating unit 74, and an operation mode converting unit 75. -9 - 201102498 The signal receiving unit 73 periodically emits light to the sensor unit 71 to detect a change in wavelength from the reflected light. The signal receiving unit 73 outputs the wavelength information detected by the signal receiving unit 73 to the ice amount calculating unit 74. The ice amount calculation unit 74 calculates the amount of ice of the wind turbine blade 1 based on the wavelength information acquired from the signal receiving unit 73. For example, the ice amount calculating unit 74 calculates the deformation based on the acquired wavelength, and then calculates the wind turbine blade 1 ο I crank torque based on the deformation ,, and calculates the ice amount 〇 ice amount calculating unit 74 based on the calculated bending moment. A determination is made as to whether or not the amount of ice exceeds the critical threshold for the amount of ice, and the determination result is output to the operation mode conversion unit 75. Further, the ice amount calculation unit 74 performs determination on each of the three wind turbine blades 10. The operation mode conversion unit 705 switches the operation mode based on the determination result of the ice amount calculation unit 74. Further, it is preferable that the operation mode is switched when the ice S of at least one of the wind turbine blades 10 exceeds the critical threshold. Further, the critical enthalpy is a first designated 设定 which is set for the amount of ice of at least one of the wind turbine blades 1 値 and a second designated 値 which is larger than the first designated 値, and the like. In addition, the third designation in the "K" form is the same as the first designation. More specifically, when it is determined that the ice S of at least one of the wind turbine blades exceeds the first designation, the operation mode switching unit 75 converts the operation mode of the wind power generator 1 into the no-load operation mode. The "no-load operation mode" is, for example, an operation (no load) state in which power generation is not performed. In addition, -10-201102498, for example, the first designation, it is preferable to set the amount of ice that is not necessary to stop the operation although the ice is detected. In the operation state of the no-load operation mode, when the amount of ice of at least one of the wind turbine blades 10 is determined by the ice amount calculation unit 7 to be the first designation or less, the operation mode conversion unit 75 is the wind power. The operation mode of the power generating device 1 is switched to the normal operation mode. In the operating state of the no-load operation mode, when the amount of ice of at least one of the wind turbine blades 10 is determined by the ice amount calculation unit 74 to exceed the second designation, the operation mode conversion unit 75 is stopped. The operation of the wind power generator 1 . More specifically, the second designation 値 is set to be larger than the first designation. Further, it is preferable to set the amount of ice that will hinder the operation of the wind power generator 1 to the second designation. The amount of ice that hinders the operation of the wind power generator 1 refers to the amount of ice that is not conducive to the operation of the wind power generator 1. For example, it means that when the stress in the lower part of the strut 2 is larger than the specified crucible, or when the allowable load exceeds the bearing or the speed increaser, etc. As described above, in another case, the amount of ice that stops the operation of the wind power generator 1 is set, and the amount of ice is operated in the no-load operation mode in the range below the second designated value that is larger than the first designation. It is possible to monitor the state of the ice, and when the state of the ice is reduced, it can be quickly converted into the normal operation mode. Further, when the wind turbine blade 1 is in the stopped state to start the operation, the wind power generator 1 is switched to the no-load operation mode, and the same critical threshold determination as described above is executed. In addition, when it is confirmed that the amount of ice is larger than the second designation, the operation of the wind power generator 1 is stopped, and the ice S is detected at the specified time interval, and the ice volume is confirmed. 2 Specify 値 to start the no-load operation mode again. Further, in the first embodiment, the sensing unit 171 is not detected when the rotation of the rotor is stopped. Therefore, when the operation of the wind power generator 1 is stopped, the rotor is rotated at the designated time, and the ice is opposed to the state. The amount is tested. In the above-described no-load operation mode, the number of revolutions of the wind turbine rotor is such that the number of revolutions in which the ice flies adhering to the wind turbine blades 1 are smaller than the distance to the surrounding wind power generator 1 when the wind turbine rotor rotates. It is said that 'the speed of the wind turbine blade 10 when the number of rotations is calculated (for example, based on the number of rotations that are not generated, so the number of rotations is low), and the distance of the ice flying from the leading edge portion at a detachable speed is The number of rotations is set under the condition that the distance between the adjacent wind power generators 1 is equal to or less. When the interval of the wind workshop is 190 meters, the number of revolutions of the rotor 4 is controlled to be 6 rpm. Next, in the order of the wind power generator 1 according to the present embodiment, the action at the time of detecting the ice during operation and the action at the time of starting the slave state will be described. First, the function is detected during the operation of the wind power generator 1, and will be described using Fig. 3 . When the wind turbine generator 1 is in operation, the deformation is measured by the ice detecting unit 7 unit 71 and the signal receiving unit 73 (the measurement result in step s A 1 is output to the ice calculating unit 74. Further, in the ice 74 'When the W i ' attached to the wind turbine blade 1 定期 is calculated based on the measured deformation, it is determined whether the ice amount W i exceeds the first specified 値, and the amount of ice used is set to a more specific distance. The rotation state causes the calculated near setting to be, for example, έ 1 rpm action, the sensor when the ice is stopped, and the calculation unit sets the amount of ice, and the operation mode conversion unit 7 switches the operation mode at -12-201102498 (step SA 2). ). When the ice amount Wi does not exceed the first designation ’, the operation mode of the wind power generator 1 is set to the "normal operation" mode. When it is determined that the ice amount Wi exceeds the first designation ', the operation mode conversion unit 75 converts the operation mode of the wind power generator 1 into the "no-load operation" mode (step SA4) ° when operating in the no-load operation mode. When the amount of ice Wi exceeds the second designation, it is periodically determined (step SA5). 'When the second designation is exceeded, the amount of ice Wi is increased'. Therefore, the operation of the wind power generator 1 is stopped (step SA6). Further, when the ice amount W i does not exceed the second designation ,, the process returns to step S A1 to continue the measurement of the ice amount Wi. Next, the action when the wind turbine generator 1 is started from the operation stop state will be described using Fig. 3 . When the amount of ice Wi exceeds the second designation, the wind turbine generator 1 is stopped, and it is determined whether or not a predetermined time (for example, one hour) has elapsed (step SA7). When it is determined that the designated time has elapsed, the operation is started in the "no-load operation" mode (step S A8), and then the flow returns to step S A1 to continue the measurement of the ice amount Wi. Further, when the designated time has not elapsed, it is repeatedly determined whether or not the designated time has elapsed (step SA7). As described above, according to the wind power generator 1 and the control method therefor according to the present embodiment, the amount of ice adhering to the wind turbine blade 1 can be calculated based on the deformation measured from the wind turbine blade 10, and Whether the amount of ice exceeds the first designation is determined, and if it is exceeded, it is converted to the no-load operation mode. In addition, according to the state of the no-load operation mode, it is determined whether or not the second designation is exceeded, or whether it is lower than the first designation, thereby determining the operation mode. As described above, according to the present embodiment, when ice is detected, the operation is not immediately stopped, but the operation is performed in the no-load operation mode, and it is determined whether or not the operation is stopped based on the ice-holding state during the no-load operation mode operation. Or, whether it is converted to the normal operation mode. In this way, for example, when the hail is reduced to the first designated value or less, the state of the no-load operation mode can be quickly changed to the normal operation mode. Thereby, the operational efficiency of the wind power generator 1 can be improved. Further, in the present embodiment, the amount of ice is detected in the state in which the rotor head 4 is rotated, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the configuration in which the amount of ice can be detected can be detected in a state where the rotor head 4 is not rotated. In this case, since the amount of ice is detected from the operation stop state, it is not necessary to have an operation process of switching to the no-load operation mode. Further, in the present embodiment, the third designation is the same as the first designation, but is not limited thereto. For example, the third can also be a smaller one than the first one.
