САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:
Renewable energy sources, such as wind farms, play a key role in reducing the carbon footprint and achieving the goals of the Green Agenda by transitioning to a sustainable energy system. As the number of wind farms increases, their impact on the environment becomes more significant, including potential negative effects such as noise on people. Therefore, it is important, during the design phase of future wind farms, to assess their impact on people in the surrounding area with respect to noise. First and foremost, it is necessary to establish the allowed noise level that should not be exceeded at locations around the wind farms. This paper presents a methodology for determining the allowed noise levels that must be implemented in the design phase of future wind farms. The methodology relies on determining the dependency of ambient noise, before the construction of the wind farm, on the wind speed at the location. The methodology is not a standard but a recommendation and, as such, is applied worldwide. Ambient noise is measured at a height of 1.5 meters above the ground, while wind speed can be measured in several ways, but ultimately normalized to wind speed at a height of 10 meters above the ground. A statistically significant number of 10-minute measurements of both noise and wind speed need to be conducted, and the noise level exceeded in 90% of the cases should be calculated. After establishing the dependency of noise levels on wind speed, it is possible to define criteria for the allowed noise levels at that location. The established allowed levels can be used as criteria in the Environmental Impact Study procedure. These allowed levels can also be used to assess the impact of the wind farm on the environment after construction.
