1. A method for controlling a wind power generation system comprising: a rotor having blades coupled mechanically thereto, the pitch of the blades being variable;a synchronous generator driven by the rotor;a generator-side converter connected electrically with the synchronous generator, for converting the power of variable frequency generated by the synchronous generator to DC power; anda grid-side converter connected electrically with the generator-side converter and a power grid, for converting the DC power to AC power having a fixed frequency,wherein when a voltage of the power grid, a current of the power grid or a frequency of the power grid is abnormal, the rotational speed of the rotor is controlled to be in a fixed range by varying the blade pitch, and the generator-side converter controls the reactive power supplied to the synchronous generator,wherein when the detected value of the current in the wind power generation system proves to be abnormal, the amount of current drawn from the synchronous generator is controlled to be smaller than the current capacity of the generator-side converter by controlling the reactive power supplied to the synchronous generator by means of the generator-side converter. 2. A method for controlling a wind power generation system as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the detected value of the current in the wind power generation system proves to be abnormal, the grid-side converter starts entering the gate-blocked condition, and the generator-side converter so controls the active power at the terminal of the synchronous generator as to be reduced to zero. 3. A method for controlling a wind power generation system as claimed in claim 1, wherein when the detected value of the current in the wind power generation system proves to be abnormal, the terminal voltage of the stator of the synchronous generator is so controlled as to be in the range of voltage for which the generator-side converter can operate, by controlling the reactive power supplied to the synchronous generator by means of the generator-side converter. 4. A method for controlling a wind power generation system as claimed in claim 1, wherein the rotational speed of the rotor has the range of a first speed region and a second speed region lower than the first speed region, when the rotor rotates in the second speed region, the blade pitch is set in a larger value than a blade pitch that is set when the rotors rotates in the first speed region. 5. A method for controlling a wind power generation system as claimed in claim 1, wherein a first predetermined value smaller than an upper limit of an operable range of the rotational speed of the rotor and a second predetermined value smaller than the first predetermined value and greater than a lower limit of an operable range of the rotational speed of the rotor are provided,the blade pitch is set in a predetermined value when the rotational speed of the rotor is smaller than the upper limit and greater than the first predetermined value, andthe blade pitch is set in a value larger than the predetermined value when the rotational speed of the rotor is greater than the lower limit and smaller than the second predetermined value. 6. A wind power generation system comprising: a rotor having blades coupled mechanically thereto, the pitch of the blades being variable;a synchronous generator driven by the rotor;a generator-side converter connected electrically with the synchronous generator, and converts the power of variable frequency generated by the synchronous generator to DC power; anda grid-side converter connected electrically with the generator-side converter and a power grid, and converts the DC power to AC power having a fixed frequency,a controller configured to control a rotational speed of the rotor to be in a fixed range by varying the blade pitch, when a voltage of the power grid, a current of the power grid or a frequency of the power grid become abnormal, andwherein the generator-side converter controls the reactive power supplied to the synchronous generator,wherein a first predetermined value smaller than an upper limit of an operable range of the rotational speed of the rotor and a second predetermined value smaller than the first predetermined value and greater than a lower limit of an operable range of the rotational speed of the rotor are provided,the blade pitch is set in a predetermined value when the rotational speed of the rotor is smaller than the upper limit and greater than the first predetermined value, andthe blade pitch is set in a value larger than the predetermined value when the rotational speed of the rotor is greater than the lower limit and smaller than the second predetermined value. 7. The wind power generation system as claimed in claim 6, wherein the rotational speed of the rotor has the range of a first speed region and a second speed region lower than the first speed region, when the rotor rotates in the second speed region, the blade pitch is set in a larger value than a blade pitch that is set when the rotator rotates in the first speed region.
