EWEA: Wind Turbine Noise: From Source to Receiver

Following the success of the workshops on resource assessment (Brussels, May 2011) and post-construction assessment (Lyon, July 2012), EWEA’s third technology workshop, organised in response to requests from EWEA members and industry, will provide a unique, industry-only forum within which to discuss the key acoustic issues currently facing the industry. Participants will leave the workshop with:

- a thorough understanding of the key issues involved in designing wind farms that will be ‘good neighbours’ to their local residents;

- insight into the challenges that the industry will face and the way forward;

- a network of acoustic contacts that will help them in their own activities as we move forward to 2020.

The workshop will take place over one and a half days with five sessions focusing on:

· Wind Turbine Noise at Source – The Impact of the Design
· Wind Farm Design – Being a Good Neighbour
· Real-World Noise Measurements – Emission and Immission
· National Guidelines and Human Perception of Noise
· Wind Turbine Noise – Tones, Amplitude Modulation (AM), Low Frequency Noise (LFN) & Infrasound

Register online at early rates before 2 October 2012.
