7 (of many) studies showing wind turbines’ adverse impacts on wildlife
Scientists (Krekel and Zerrahn, 2017) report that the installation of wind turbines near human populations “exerts significant negative external effects on residential well-being” and a “significant...
View ArticleOn the prediction of underwater aerodynamic noise of offshore wind turbines
Abstract. The growing demand for offshore wind energy has led to a significant increase in wind turbine size and to the development of large-scale wind farms, often comprising 100 to 150 turbines....
View ArticleUnderwater noise of operating wind turbines
As a turbine operates, vibrations inside the nacelle (the housing that contains the generator, gearbox, and other parts) are transmitted down the main shaft of the wind turbine and into its foundation....
View ArticleUltrasonic deterrents provide no additional benefit over curtailment in...
Abstract. Wind energy is important for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions but also contributes to global bat mortality. Current strategies to minimize bat mortality due to collision with...
