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...

SODAR calibration for wind energy applications, final reporting on WP3, EU WISE project NNE5-2001-297 (2005)
Report
Bradley, S., Antoniou, I., von Hünerbein, S., Kindler, D., Jorgensen, H., & De Noord, M. (2005). SODAR calibration for wind energy applications, final reporting on WP3, EU WISE project NNE5-2001-297

The method traditionally used for measuring the wind speed and direction for wind energy purposes is to record the output from cup or propeller anemometers and vanes at several heights on a mast. As turbines have grown in height, this method has bec... Read More about SODAR calibration for wind energy applications, final reporting on WP3, EU WISE project NNE5-2001-297.

Perception of noise from large wind turbines (EFP-06 Project)
Report
(EFP-06 Project)

Is noise from large wind turbines more annoying than noise from small wind turbines? This is a question that is discussed widely in the context of a new generation of large wind turbines replacing the traditional smaller ones. To date legislation ta...
