Abstract
The introduction of wind farms on land for the generation of renewable energy often leads to discussion in the surrounding community. Their concerns on impact of Shadow flickering, horizon pollution, and noise levels may postpone or even cancel the construction of a new wind farm. To improve the communication to the public, wind farm simulations, using the Virtual Community Noise Simulator (VCNS), were created for two different wind farm projects in the Netherlands. For this purpose, the primary noise of the wind turbine, the rotor, has been auralized according to the design of the blades. Atmospheric circumstances, including wind direction, were also taken into account to create the propagation through the atmosphere towards the observer location. Finally, 360 degrees video recordings were made and combined with the planned 3D models of the wind turbines to create an appropriate visual experience using Virtual Reality. This was presented to the public during local municipal meetings. Empirical conclusion...
