Abstract

A recently presented hypothesis and model relating to the generation of spinning modes from wind turbines, as a direct result of acoustic interaction involving the tower, results in a far field infrasound sound pressure level prediction, which is higher than that predicted by point source method. The model also predicts a significant attenuation of the fundamental blade passing frequency component relative to the second and higher harmonics.
