Noise and output optimization of wind farms

This project has validated the use of the noise prediction model Nord2000 for more detailed noise prediction from wind farms compared to conventional methods like the ISO 9613-2. The prediction model takes into account variations in meteorological and terrain parameters and was validated for flat and complex terrain alike by means of measurement campaigns. A software prototype combining Nord2000 with WindPRO from EMD International A/S was developed. The software is intended for noise and energy optimisation of wind farm layouts taking into account the advantages inherent in the more detailed noise prediction model. (Energy 10)
