A wind turbine system includes a nacelle, a generator, a central control module, an impeller, a transmission module, a speed sensor module, a pitch angle driving module, a hub controller and a slip-ring apparatus. The hub controller receives a first pitch command from the central control module or generates a second pitch command according to a rotation speed of a hub sensed by the speed sensor module. If the first pitch command is correct, the hub controller transmits the first pitch command to the pitch angle driving module. If not, the hub controller transmits the second pitch command to the pitch angle driving module. The pitch angle driving module controls a pitch angle of at least one blade after receiving the pitch command, so that the wind turbine system works. Therefore, the wind turbine system has a distributed control function and a redundancy capability.
