Measurement study and noise analysis of large size wind turbine in Cearà / Estudo de mediÃÃo e anÃlise do ruÃdo de aerogeradores de grande porte no Estado do CearÃSamuel AraÃjo Lima 28 September 2015 (has links)
CoordenaÃÃo de AperfeÃoamento de Pessoal de NÃvel Superior / With the rapid expansion of wind power during the beginning of 21st century in Brazil and worldwide, many wind turbines of different and innovative technologies began operations. Many of the environmental and operational consequences of this expansion are still being studied and evaluated. Among the environmental consequences, one can mention the noise produced by larger diameter wind turbines, whose frequencies are often not audible, although perceptible to the human brain. In this work were made measurements of the noise associated with wind turbines in the state of Ceara. It was initially made the characterization of wind turbine noise, identifying sources, frequencies, composition, intensity and impacts to health. Experimental measurements of sound in large wind generators were made in direct-drive wind turbine generators, in the city of Aracati, State of Ceara, in the light of the international standard IEC 61400-11, documenting the methodology applied in a manner that is easily replicated. The experimental results were processed and analyzed according to the standard. Filters were
applied in order to identify the frequency and types of most significant noise in the experiment, comparing them with the literature. The procedures performed and documented may be applied commercially to perform noise measurements under international standard, and in future studies applied to predictive maintenance and environmental engineering. / Com a rÃpida expansÃo da Energia EÃlica ocorrida no inÃcio do SÃculo XXI no Brasil e no mundo, muitos aerogeradores de tecnologias distintas e inovadoras iniciaram suas operaÃÃes. Muitas das consequÃncias ambientais e operacionais dessa expansÃo ainda estÃo sendo estudadas e avaliadas. Entre as consequÃncias ambientais pode-se citar o ruÃdo provocado pelo funcionamento de aerogeradores de maior diÃmetro, cujas frequÃncias nÃo sÃo muitas vezes
audÃveis, ainda que perceptÃveis ao cÃrebro humano. Neste trabalho foram feitas mediÃÃes do ruÃdo associado a aerogeradores no Estado do CearÃ. Foi feita inicialmente a caracterizaÃÃo do ruÃdo de aerogeradores, identificando fontes, frequÃncias, composiÃÃo, intensidades e impactos à saÃde. Foram realizadas mediÃÃes experimentais de som em Aerogeradores de grande porte do tipo direct-drive na cidade de Aracati, no Estado do CearÃ, à luz da norma internacional IEC 61400-11, documentando a metodologia aplicada de forma que seja facilmente replicada. Os resultados experimentais foram tratados e analisados conforme a norma. Filtros foram aplica-
dos a fim de se identificar as frequÃncias e o tipos de ruÃdos mais relevantes no experimento, comparando-os com a literatura. Os procedimentos executados e documentados poderÃo ser aplicados comercialmente para a realizaÃÃo de mediÃÃes de ruÃdos à luz da norma internacional, e em estudos futuros aplicados à manutenÃÃo preditiva e à engenharia ambiental.

The effect on noise emission from wind turbines due to ice accretion on rotor bladesArbinge, Peter January 2012 (has links)
Swedish EPA (Naturvårdsverket) noise level guide-lines suggest that equivalent A-weighted sound pressure levels (SPL) must not exceed 40 dBA at residents. Thus, in the planning of new wind farms and their location it is crucial to estimate the disturbance it may cause to nearby residents. Wind turbine noise emission levels are guaranteed by the wind turbine manufacturer only under ice-free conditions. Thus, ice accretion on wind turbine may lead to increased wind turbine noise resulting in noise levels at nearby residents to exceed 40 dBA SPL. The purpose of the project is to evaluate the effect on wind turbine noise emission due to ice accretion. This, by trying to quantify the ice accretion on rotor blades and correlate it to any change in noise emission. A literature study shows that the rotor blades are to be considered the primary noise source. Hence, ice accretion on rotor blades are assumed to be the main influence on noise character. A field study is performed in two parts; as a long term measurement based on the method out-lined by IEC 61400-11 and as a short term measurement in strict accordance with IEC 61400-11. These aim to obtain noise emission levels for the case of icing conditions and ice-free conditions (reference conditions) as well as background noise levels. An analysis is performed, which sets out to correlate ice measurements with wind turbine performance and noise emission. Data reduction procedures are performed according to IEC 61400-11.The apparent sound power levels are evaluated. This is performed for the case of icing conditions as well as for the case of ice-free onditions. A statistical evaluation of icing event is carried out. The results show that ice accretion on wind turbine (rotor blades) may lead to drastically higher noise emission levels. The sound power levels show an average increase of 10.6 dB at 8 m/s. However, this can occur at all wind speeds from 6 m/s to 10 m/s. Higher levels of noise, (55 to 65 dBA SPL) may be caused by very small amounts of ice accretion. Occurrences of higher levels of noise, in the range of 50 to 65 dBA SPL, are not common. Noise levels exceeding 50 dBA SPL are to expected 10.3 % of the time during the winter or 3 % of the time during one year. Correlation between measured ice accumulation and noise level is weak apart from large amounts of ice. This due to statistical noise. Taking into account the noise level guide-lines of 40 dBA SPL at residents, as is recommended by Swedish EPA (Naturvårdsverket), the increased levels of windturbine noise under icing conditions may force the power production to a halt.
