Noise and vibration from building-mounted micro wind turbines Part 2: Results of measurements and analysis (2011)
Report
Part 2: Results of measurements and analysis

Description To research the quantification of vibration from a micro turbine, and to develop a method of prediction of vibration and structure borne noise in a wide variety of installations in the UK. Objective The objectives of the study... Read More about Noise and vibration from building-mounted micro wind turbines Part 2: Results of measurements and analysis.

Structure-borne sound and vibration from building-mounted wind turbines (2011)
Journal Article
Moorhouse, A., Elliott, A., Eastwick, G., Evans, T., Ryan, A., von Hünerbein, S., …Waddington, D. (2011). Structure-borne sound and vibration from building-mounted wind turbines. Environmental Research Letters, 6(3), 035102. https://doi.org/10.1088/1748-9326/6/3/035102

Noise continues to be a significant factor in the development of wind energy resources. In the case of building-mounted wind turbines (BMWTs), in addition to the usual airborne sound there is the potential for occupants to be affected by structure-bo...

Noise and vibration from building-mounted micro wind turbines part 3 : prediction methodology (2011)
Report
part 3 : prediction methodology

This brief report describes a simplified method for estimation of levels of structure-borne sound in buildings to which a micro-wind turbine (MWT) is attached. The method is applicable to two specific designs of MWT, each for three lengths of moun...
