Wind Turbine Aerodynamic Noise Sources

    Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Book chapter › Education › peer-review

    Abstract

    In this chapter, the basic phenomena and mechanisms responsible for wind turbine noise are investigated. Current scientific knowledge from theoretical and experimental points of view and existing studies on the subject are reviewed. Here, the focus is on aerodynamic noise sources as these are in usual conditions the main contributors to wind turbine noise, although some other noise mechanisms are also shortly discussed. Individual aerodynamic noise sources are investigated first. Then, the focus is set on noise from a wind turbine, and finally from a wind farm, as a whole.
