Possible ecotoxicological effects of wind turbines

There is a growing concern that wind farms may contribute to an increased pollution due to leakage of particles eroding from the blades. In addition, it has been shown that the turbines also leak different kind of oils such as hydraulic and gear oils. The aim of this study was to investigate possible ecotoxicological effects of wind turbines. Particles were collected from moss, water and sediment from lakes adjacent to wind turbine areas as well…Wind Power Read Article

Acoustic Profiling of Infrasound and Audible Emissions from Wind Turbines: Field Measurements in Northern Sweden

Wind turbines produce both audible noise and low-frequency infrasound (below 20 Hz), which, though often inaudible, may have physiological and psychological effects that require further investigation. Previous studies confirm that wind turbines are significant sources of both audible and infrasonic noise. Infrasound is primarily generated by blade-tower interactions and atmospheric turbulence. Sugimoto et al. demonstrated a strong correlation be…Wind Power · Sweden Read Article

Perceived Noise Impact of Transitioning Towards Larger Wind Turbines Using Auralisations

The human perception of two wind turbines of different sizes, a small NTK turbine and a larger NREL model, was evaluated through their synthetically auralised sound. A wide range of wind speed conditions and observer locations was considered. The simulated sounds were analyzed using equivalent sound pressure levels and psychoacoustic sound quality metrics. Moreover, listening experiments were conducted to evaluate the human response to the same …Wind Power Read Article
