Abstract

The enduring energy scenario leads to further promote the development of the exploitation of renewable energy sources. Recent European standards, have been defining a path to reach in 2050 a level of decarbonization lower of 80% compared to 1990. Wind farm s have been growing quickly for last decade with individual wind turbines getting larger and larger. In addition to the benefits of containing greenhouse gas emissions and restraining the use of depletable resources drawbacks have also appeared , due to noi se generation from wind turbines and adverse reaction of some nearby residents. The noise generated by wind turbines has a broad spectrum character but the low frequency noise causes special problems. It is a fact that in di ff erent European countries speci al laws have been adopted to impose noise limits and evaluation methods for the assessment of environmental low frequency noise from this kind of sound sources. Other countries are still lacking specific rules but in the authorization procedure such analys is is required by environmental control agencies. The purpose of this study consists of comparing the assessment procedures currently used in di ffe rent European countries for the prediction of low frequency noise from wind turbines and its propagation. The comparison of procedures gives a chance to put forward progressions in low frequency noise emission and reception
