Abstract

Recently, as wind farms using wind power as new and renewable energy have been installed nationwide, noise problems have emerged. The environmental impact assessment and post-environmental impact assessment also require the measurement of background noise and low-frequency noise for wind farms, especially by applying the living noise measurement method according to the low-frequency noise management guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment in 2018. Due to the nature of wind power generators that generate loud noise in high winds, noise measurement should be made at high winds, but when wind speed increases, wind noise increases and living noise and low-frequency noise are not properly evaluated. Therefore, the type of noise generated by wind power generators was confirmed, and matters to be considered when measuring wind noise such as wind noise were confirmed.

최근 신재생에너지로서 바람의 힘을 이용한 풍력발전단지가 전국에 설치되면서 소음 문제가 대두되고 있다. 환경영향평가 및 사후환경영향평가에서도 풍력발전단지에 대한 배경소음 및 저주파소음을 측정하도록 하고 있으며, 특히 저주파소음은 환경부에서 2018년 공표한 저주파소음 관리 가이드라인에 따라 생활소음 측정방법을 준용하여 측정하도록 규정하고 있다. 고풍속에서 큰 소음을 발생시키는 풍력발전기의 특성상 고풍속에서 소음 측정이 이루어져야 하나 풍속이 증가할 경우 풍잡음이 증가하여 생활소음 및 저주파소음이 제대로 평가되지 못하는 문제가 발생되었다. 따라서 풍력발전기에서 발생되는 소음의 종류를 확인하고 풍잡음 등 풍력소음 측정시 고려되어야 할 사항을 확인하였다.
