In the development of electricity generating wind turbines for wind farm application, only two types have survived as the methods of power regulation; stall regulation and fun span pitch control. The sound measurement procedures of IEC 61400-11 are applied to field test and evaluation of noise emission from each of 1.5 MW and 660 kW wind turbine generators (WTG) utilizing the stall regulation and the pitch control for the power regulation, respectively. Apparent sound power level, wind speed dependence and third-octave band levels are evaluated for both of WTGs. It is found that while 1.5 MW WTG using the stall control is found to emit lower sound power than 660 kW one using the pitch control at low wind speed (below 8 m/s), sound power from the former becomes greater than that of the latter in the higher wind speed. Equivalent continuous sound pressure levels (ECSPL) of the stall control type of WTG vary more widely with wind speed than those of the pitch control type of WTG These characteristics are believed to be strongly dependent on the basic difference of the airflow around the blade between the stall regulation and the pitch control types of WTG. These characteristics according to the methods of power regulation lead to the very different noise emission characteristics of WTG depending on the seasons because the average wind speed in summer is lower than the critical velocity over which the airflow on the suction side of blade in the stall types of WT are separated. These results propose that, in view of environmental noise regulation, the developer of wind farm should give enough considerations to the choice of power regulation of their WTG based on the weather conditions of potential wind farm locations.

In this study, the basic data were collected for improving the amenity of indoor environment of a super yacht and the performance of indoor environment was analyzed by utilizing measured data during summer period. Through the results of examination, the following conclusions are drawn. 1) It is estimated that, in case of closing the door of Saloon connected with outside, there is little inflow of exhaust gas, but when the door is open, the indoor-air might be polluted so fast. Therefore, it is necessary to make a counter plan about the method of ventilation and amount of ventilation to keep the indoor aerial environment agreeable. 2) It is urgent to conceive countermeasure against engine noise because the noise level of all rooms exceeds 60dB, which is regulation of noise for protecting crew established in ship's classification, during the sailing. 3) State cabin and Guest cabin are super cooled by operating air conditioner exceeding agreeableness extent and it is needed to prevent them.

This paper proposes a Hybrid Random PWM(HRPWM) technique using a LF2407 DSP board in order to spread the power spectra of an induction motor. The proposed method is composed to the PRBS (Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence) with the Lead-Lag random bit and the random triangular carrier for the logical comparison. Also, a DSP generates the random number, the PRBS and the three-phase reference signal, a MAX038 chip operating as frequency modulator generates the random triangular carrier. For verification of the proposed method, the experiments were conducted with a three-phase adjustable speed a.c drives, and the results of simulations and experiments are presented.

The noise produced in a factory is a cause of the noise complaint of the surrounding residential areas. In addition, it affects the work efficiency and health of workers. This paper presents the results of a basic study to reduce the noise generated from the blower, which is often used in the factory of a small and medium scale, using an active noise controller (ANC) in three-dimensional space. For this purpose, the simulator program, which can compare various parameters of the original noise and controlled noise, such as sound pressure levels, power spectra, and equivalent noise levels, was developed. The noise data was recorded at 17 points around a turbo fan blower currently being operated in a small-medium size factory. The simulation results showed that the power spectrum was reduced by a maximum of 40dB in the low frequency band and the average equivalent noise level attenuation was 12.6dB.

Motor noise is a major concern in order to improve perceptual feeling of car interior sound due to increased motor usage in passenger cars. The purpose of this study is to propose factors that can represent the acoustic performance of motor noise according to the change of load. To this end, at first, it is shown that power spectrum and total loudness are not fit for noise performance, and then, PN_B, partial loudness related to the brush friction component, and PN_R, partial loudness related to the torque ripple component are investigated as factors representing motor noise. The performance curve of motor noise using PN_B and PN_R is proposed to identify trends of motor noise according to the loads. The curve could be a guide for the noise control, the selection of motor, and the improvement of a system.

This study proposes a method to predict noise reduction based on noise-reduction measures, using harmonic response analysis, for transformer design. The dynamic elastic coefficients of the components comprising the actual transformer were determined by manufacturing the materials of the transformer components into simple-shaped specimens, followed by a comparison of the modes between the experiments and the analyses. A finite element model of the transformer was implemented, and harmonic response analysis was performed by deriving the exciting force of the transformer. Subsequently, the theoretical sound power level of the transformer was derived from the results of the harmonic response analysis. Finally, noise reduction measures were established, and the noise reduction amounts were compared between the experiments and the analyses, before and after applying the measures. Through the comparison and analyses of the noise reduction measures, it was confirmed that the trends in the experiments and analyses matched.

자동차의 조향 장치에서 연비 절감과 조향성능의 향상을 위해 연구되고 있는 전동식 파워스티어링 시스템은 기존의 유압식에 비해 소음과 진동이 발생하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이를 감소시키기 위해 토크 리플을 줄이는 것이 관건이고, 토크 리플을 발생시키는 큰 원인 중 하나가 위치 센서 분해능 제한이다. 본 논문에서는 가격 절감을 위해 낮은 분해능의 위치 센서로 전동식 파워스티어링 시스템의 토크 리플을 저감하기 위해 위치 추정 기법을 제안하고, 실험을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

In this paper, the author proposes a new method for acoustic radiation optimum design to minimize noise from a vibrating panel-like structure using a collaborative population-based search method called the particle swarm optimization algorithm(PSOA). The PSOA is a parallel evolutionary computation technique initially developed by Kennedy and Eberhart. The acoustic radiation optimization method based on the PSOA consists of two processes. In the first process, the acoustic radiation analysis by an integrated p-version FEM/BEM, which was developed by using MATLAB, is performed to evaluate the exterior acoustic radiation field of the panel. The second process is to search the optimum design variables: 1) Shape of Bezier curves and 2) Shape and position of ribs, to minimize noise from the panel using the PSOA. The optimization method based on the PSOA is compared to that based on the steady state genetic algorithm(SSGA) in order to verify the effectiveness and validity of the optimal solution by PSOA. Finally, it is shown that the optimal designs of the panel obtained by using the PSOA can achieve effective reductions in radiated sound power.
