Abstract

This paper presents a preliminary evaluation of the acoustic impact of an offshore experimental wind farm (E2O), conceived and planned to be installed in Asturias on Spain’s northwest coast. A simplified assessment of the wind turbines’ noise impact at an offshore platform was performed numerically, adapting commercial software for room acoustics to this particular application. As a result, the sound levels at specific receiver sites on the coastline were estimated to select the most convenient level between the two possible locations. Parameters from acoustic emission data of the selected wind turbines were introduced as inputs to the simulation, and the noise propagation in the analyzed domains (for different values of their basic parameters) was simulated. Complementarily, the numerical results were compared to calculations following the ISO 9613-2 standard on sound propagation outdoors for validation purposes, showing good overall agreement. The results revealed that both projected areas under consideration follow the current normative concerning the prescribed acoustic limits, according to the predicted low sound pressure values at the specific considered receiver sites.
