Prediction of broadband noise signal from a large wind turbine

대형 풍력발전기 블레이드의 광대역 소음 신호 예측 및 분석

This study predicted broadband noise from a generic 2.5MW wind turbine blade in the time domain. The rotor blade was modeled as thin rectangular flat plates. A simplified analytic model proposed by Amiet was used to model the unsteady surface pressure distribution. The acoustic pressure was calculated by using the loading term of Formulation 1A proposed by Farassat. The validation was also performed by comparing with an experiment of Brooks, Pope, and Marcolini. By using these numerical methods, the broadband noise signal of the wind turbine was successfully predicted in this study.
