Project introduction
ÅF Consult and Vattenfall
Measurements in-situ and analyses
On one wind turbine (WT) in cold climate
December 2011 to March 2012
Detect anomalies due to ice accretion Sound emission level Power production Atmospheric conditions: Wind, temp. etc.
Time synchronized measurements

Icing and soundPrevious research
No previous “in-depth” investigations of a real case of wind turbine icing and effects on sound
Laszlo Fuchs, KTH (2011) Modeling Simulation
Ice accretion
Possible effects on sound
No quantitative analysis

MeasurementsStandard IEC 61400-11
Measurements of sound pressure levels “close” to the WT Long term measurement – microphone on stand Short term measurement – microphone on wooden board

Summary of project
WT sound level increase Average 11 dB over all icing events Increase even at small amounts of ice Violation of guaranteed level approx. 11 days per winter
Possible measures to be taken De-icing of rotor blades Production halt
Future work – further investigations Sound level over “long” distances, e.g. at nearby residents Influence of snow on ground Ice measurements
