Noise Test and Evaluation of a 750kW Wind Turbine Generator

750kW 풍력발전기의 소음실증

This study introduces an environmental noise evaluation procedure and results for a wind turbine (W/T) system. Test and evaluation are required by the international standard IEC 61400-11 in the aspect of environmental effect. Test and evaluation are performed on U-50 WT model which is first developed by the domestic W/T manufacturer. W/T test model is under operation in Daekwanryung wind test site. An integrated monitoring system in the test site is utilized for the evaluation. With the noise signal, meteorological data and W/T operational data are monitored in real time by the integrated monitoring system using LabVIEW. From the measured noise data, acoustic power level are estimated and compared with those of other similar size WT under the wind speeds required by international standard.
