1. A method of controlling an aero wind power generation apparatus, the method comprising:
preparing for take-off of the aero wind power generation apparatus;
injecting gas into a buoyancy generation unit of the aero wind power generation apparatus;
taking off the aero wind power generation apparatus using a drone unit of the aero wind power generation apparatus and the buoyancy generation unit of the aero wind power generation apparatus; and
charging a battery of the aero wind power generation apparatus using the aero wind power generation apparatus,
wherein the aero wind power generation apparatus comprises:
the buoyancy generation unit connected to the drone unit and including a side cover configured to open or close and a balloon provided inside the side cover, wherein the buoyancy generation unit is configured to enable injection of the gas into or release of the gas from the balloon; and
a power generation unit connected to the buoyancy generation unit and including:
a rotating unit with a plurality of blades;
a blade control unit configured for adjusting a state of the blades; and
a motor unit engaged to the rotating unit and configured for converting kinetic energy transferred from the rotating unit into electrical energy.
