A set value indicating that wind received by the wind turbine generator (10) has a biased wind speed distribution is set in advance in the pitch-angle control section (62). Only when a calculated pitch-angle command value exceeds the set value, the pitch-angle control section (62) outputs a pitch-angle command value beyond pitch command limit values. Therefore, in the wind turbine generator (10), a higher load than necessary is not imposed on a drive unit for the pitch angle of each of the blades (20) in a case of a normal wind speed or a wind speed distribution caused by the normal wind speed, and the blade-root load can be sufficiently reduced even in a case of a wind speed distribution that occurs when a strong wind is received.
