The invention provides a single-blade hoisting barring gear for a wind 
turbine generator 
system. The single-blade hoisting barring gear comprises a barring unit, a power 
system and a 
control system, the barring unit comprises a decelerator and a conversion 
flange, the decelerator is connected with a 
brake disc on an output shaft of a gearbox through the conversion 
flange, the power 
system is connected with an input shaft of the decelerator, and by driving the input shaft of the decelerator to rotate radially, an output shaft of the decelerator drives the output shaft of the gearbox to rotate radially; and the 
control system is connected with the power system, and the power system is controlled to start or stop working according to obtained position information of a hub opening. The position information of the hub opening can be automatically obtained, the rotating amplitude of an 
impeller is automatically controlled, during single-blade hoisting of the wind 
turbine generator system, the hub opening is kept at the horizontal position, and the single-blade hoisting demands of the wind 
turbine generator system are met. The single-blade hoisting barring gear is small in size and compact in structure, large moment of force can be stably output through a 
hydraulic motor to drive the 
impeller to rotate, vibration 
noise is small, and the safety of 
hydraulic pressure-maintaining brakingis higher.
