Title: Wind Turbine Generator System Acoustic Noise Test Report for the ARE 442 Wind Turbine

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/993330· OSTI ID:993330

This test was conducted on the ARE 442 as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Independent Testing project. This project was established to help reduce the barriers of wind energy expansion by providing independent testing results for small turbines. In total, five turbines are being tested at the National Wind Technology Center (NWTC) as a part of this project. Acoustic noise testingis one of up to five tests that may be performed on the turbines, including duration, safety and function, power performance, and power quality tests. The acoustic noise test was conducted to the IEC 61400-11 Edition 2.1.
