The invention relates to a method for controlling a wind generating set under strong wind, which comprises the following steps of: A, monitoring the state of the generating set, executing a step B when a fan runs normally, and stopping the generating set when the fan fails; B, monitoring the wind speed, stopping the generating set when the wind speed is greater than a maximum running wind speed, and executing the step A when the wind speed is less than or equal to a cut-out wind speed, otherwise, executing a step C; and C, reducing power output. The invention provides a safe and efficient control mode; based on a normal wind generator control strategy, a concept of strong wind control curve is introduced so that the wind generating set still runs normally under a high wind speed working condition and is combined to the grid while reducing the wind load influence; and the method improves the utilization rate and power generation quantity on the premise of ensuring the safety of the fan, meanwhile eliminates a parameter of restarting wind speed, avoids redundant start-stop processes, and prolongs the service life of the fan.
