Abstract: Even when a low stiffness blade is adopted, collision between the blade and a tower is avoided when a wind power generation apparatus is to be stopped, while an increase in the time required for the stop is suppressed. A rotor including a blade, a nacelle that supports the rotor, a tower that supports the nacelle, a pitch angle control mechanism that controls a pitch angle of the blade, and a controller that outputs a target value of the pitch angle to the pitch angle control mechanism are included. When the wind power generation apparatus is to be stopped, the controller determines the target value of the pitch angle in a feather operation of the blade such that the blade does not greatly bend toward the tower in an azimuth angle range in which the blade passes through the tower.

Abstract: The present invention provides a design support system for easily identifying extent of impact of design change while saving the labor involved in working on the design change. The system includes: a simulation execution unit that executes a simulation by executing a program on a server using predetermined parameters regarding the design of an object; an extent-of-impact extraction unit that extracts extent of impact that parts are subject to due to design change, from an analysis result obtained through execution of the simulation by the simulation execution unit; and an output unit that outputs the extent of impact extracted by the extent-of-impact extraction unit.
