Serration design or the art of reducing wind farm noise
The noise of a wind turbine is estimated to reach about 55 decibels being at its foot (a car is estimated to be 80 decibels). Though acoustic is still one of the big challenge for the industry and a main risk for projects under development. In some areas, due to the...
Why active filters are to be used in a wind energy asset?
We have often seen cases when an active filter had to be installed during operation of a wind farm. This article aims to demonstrate their purpose and benefits. From high voltage centers, grid operators use a remote system to amend the tariff in energy meters. When a...
