Investigating the Impact of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Stratification on Wind Farm Noise Propagation

Résumé

The expansion of wind farm installations has been hindered by annoyance issues resulting from the noise emitted by wind turbines. Understanding the factors that affect sound propagation is crucial to mitigate the impact of noise. Atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) stratification strongly affects the noise propagation of isolated wind turbines. However, few studies have looked at the influence of atmospheric conditions on wind farm noise propagation. This study aims to investigate this through numerical simulations. Large eddy simulations (LES) are used to predict the mean flow inside and around the wind farm. The noise from each wind turbine is computed from an extended source model that determines the wind turbine sound production based on its geometry, and on the flow characteristics (wind speed and turbulence intensity). A model based on the parabolic equation is employed to compute the sound propagation based on the flow fields obtained from LES. Neutral, stable and unstable stability conditions are considered for an idealized wind farm layout. The results of this study provide insight into the influence of atmospheric conditions on wind farm sound
