Noise Reduction in Wind Turbines

Modern wind turbines are more powerful and more complex than ever before. As a result, noise reduction – the targeted minimisation of sound generated during operation – is becoming increasingly important. This is the only way to ensure reliable operation, compliance with legal requirements, and acceptance by local communities.

 

New, high-performance turbine types often generate more tonal noise due to

optimised drive trains, improved aerodynamics, wider operating ranges, larger rotor diameters, and taller towers.

Many people – especially local residents – perceive these tones as particularly disturbing.

Even for regulatory authorities, this does not sound good at all. Failure to comply with legal standards can result in severe penalties – up to and including the suspension of operation.


Significant losses in yield are the consequence.

Wölfel provides the right solutions: 

with innovative systems for active and passive noise reduction, tonalities can be effectively reduced.

Reliably, efficiently, and already proven in practice.
