Wind Farm Noise—Modulation of the Amplitude

Assessing the Validity of Wind Farm Noise Monitoring Data for Periods of Partial Wind Farm Operation

Wind farm noise compliance assessments require measurement of the wind farm noise under full operating conditions. Normal wind farm operation typically includes periods where one or more wind turbines may be unable to operate, due to maintenance requirements, grid restrictions, or other factors. For a large wind farm with many wind turbines, or in situations where cumulative noise impacts from ...

Wind Farm Optimization

This paper will formulate integer programs to determine the optimal positions of wind turbines within a wind farm. The formulations were based on variations of the vertex packing problem. Three formulations are presented, which seek to maximize power generated in accordance with constraints based on the number of turbines, turbine proximity, and turbine interference. These were in the form of b...

Wind farm worries

The report also highlights the use of smallpox in bioterrorism as a particularly worrying threat. Authorities around the world should work together to combat the kind of bioterrorism that occurred with the letters warning of anthrax after September 11 2001, it says. A flu pandemic would affect more than 1.5 billion people, or 25 per cent of the world's population. Even if the disease was mild i...

Wind farm power output

A simple methodology is described – the multi-turbine power curve approach – a methodology to generate a qualified estimate of the time series of the aggregated power generation from planned wind turbine units distributed in an area where limited wind time series are available. This is often the situation in a planning phase where you want to simulate planned expansions in a power system with w...
