MassCEC Research Study on Wind Turbine Acoustics

March 9, 2016

​

Epsilon and Northeast Wind provided support to Resource Systems

Group for a recently published research study: The Massachusetts Study

on Wind Turbine Acoustics. Sponsored by both the Massachusetts Clean

Energy Center (MassCEC) and the Massachusetts Department of

Environmental Protection, the study provides an assessment of a variety of

sound characteristics, metrics, and measurement techniques related to the

operation of wind turbines.

 

Included in the study is a collection and analysis of acoustical, meteorological

and operational data from five operational wind power facilities in

Massachusetts and one other New England state. Epsilon conducted

extensive field programs at the wind power facilities to measure the level

and quality of sound emissions from operating wind turbines under various

wind regimes and topography. Ultimately, this study will help inform the public about wind turbine sound and improve wind turbine siting and approvals processes in Massachusetts and beyond.

​

The project was one of many research and analysis projects initiated by the MassCEC to increase the understanding of specific wind energy topics.
