Industrial Wind Energy Quote

“We feel strongly that industrial wind is a false solution to climate change, and remain committed to defending Maine’s mountain forests as a carbon-sink and as habitat for rare and endangered species.” —Jessie Dowling, Maine Earth First

Wake-induced variations in noise levels and amplitude modulation for two interacting wind turbines

[Abstract] The influence of turbine–turbine interactions on sound propagation is investigated using numerical simulations. Three configurations are examined: turbines aligned downstream of each other, placed side by side, and arranged in a staggered pattern. The simulation framework combines large-eddy simulations for aerodynamic interactions, an aeroacoustic source model to simulate turbine sound emission, and parabolic equation methods for sound propagation. When a second turbine is positioned directly downstream, wake-induced flow focusing enhances sound pressure levels (SPL) and amplitude modulation (AM) by . . .

“The cumulative impacts on bat populations from proposed and/or constructed wind farm developments, especially in the eastern United States, may lead to further population declines, placing multiple bat populations at serious risk of extinction.” —Thomas Kunz, Director, Center for Ecology and Conservation Biology, Boston University

“Grid-integration measures for variable supply, such as the stand-by operation of fossil fuel power plants, grid expansion, demand-response and energy storage, result in extra resource requirements and environmental impacts.” —Edgar Hertwich et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Oct. 6, 2014
