Wind Turbine Tower Resonance

Wind turbine towers are large structures designed to withstand the unique loading conditions imposed on them by the turbine’s nacelle and dynamic forces from the rotating blades. Observations and noise measurements of a particular wind turbine showed high noise levels at approximately 48 Hz, which could not be explained from the usual known potential noise sources. Correlated far field noise me...

Wind Turbine Blade Design

A detailed review of the current state-of-art for wind turbine blade design is presented, including theoretical maximum efficiency, propulsion, practical efficiency, HAWT blade design, and blade loads. The review provides a complete picture of wind turbine blade design and shows the dominance of modern turbines almost exclusive use of horizontal axis rotors. The aerodynamic design principles fo...

Wind Turbine Noise Issues

Wind turbine noise.

The evidence for adequate sleep as a prerequisite for human health, particularly child health, is overwhelming. Governments have recently paidmuch attention to the effects of environmental noise on sleep duration and quality, and to how to reduce such noise. However, governments have also imposed noise from industrial wind turbines on large swathes of peaceful countryside. The impact of road, r...
