Individual blade noise measurement system and method for wind turbines

摘要

A method for configuring blades 108 of a wind turbine 100 for low noise generation. The method includes providing at least one noise measuring device 209. The noise measuring device 209 is arranged and disposed in a position to measure noise of the blades 108 during rotation. The wind turbine 100 is configured to include a rotational trigger, the rotational trigger being arranged to provide a signal at a predetermined rotational position of the wind turbine blades 108. One or more of the blades 108 is configured with an aerodynamic modifying device. Noise level is measured with the noise measuring device 209 during wind turbine 100 operation. The noise produced by each of the blades 108 is determined. The blades 108 are configured in response to the noise determined for each of the blades 108. A method for measuring the noise level generated by an individual blade 108 and a wind turbine 100 configured for desired noise level are also disclosed.
