How to shut down wind turbines when the wind is too strong
The shutdown process, known as "furling," involves pitching the blades to a position that reduces wind resistance, thus minimizing stress on the structure. Shutting down turbines in high winds is not only about immediate safety but also long-term maintenance. [PDF Version]
How loud is the wind noise from wind turbines
Modern wind turbines typically generate noise levels between 43 and 45 decibels (dB (A)) at a distance of 350 meters, a sound level often compared to a quiet refrigerator, significantly lower than common concerns suggest. [PDF Version]FAQs about How loud is the wind noise from wind turbines
Why do wind turbines make so much noise?
The noise from a wind turbine comes from two sources. The blades create a whooshing sound as they cut through the air, and there may also be a less.
