Abstract

Low frequency noise is the main noise sources of wind turbine, causing annoyance for daily life. This paper proposes a simplified model for wind turbine low frequency noise sources through three elements: noise sources, propagation paths and perceived signals of acoustic vector sensors(AVS) array. AVS array is utilized for far field source localization, offering a key advantage with respect to conventional acoustic pressure solutions due to their vector nature. Due to doppler effects, time-dependent Green functions are hereby used to extract information about the physical characteristic of different elements. Two time domain beamforming methods (de-dopplerized and conventional method) are utilized for locating the model noise rotational sources with AVS array, along with several simulations and their performance analysis in different situations. The results show that de-dopplerized method outperform than the conventional method.
