Putting the IOA preferred AM assessment method and the proposed penalty scheme into practice - an outlook for future developments of wind farms in the UK

摘要

Introduction: The methodology to measure and assess amplitude modulation, assign a level that is acceptable and to provide a suitable planning condition, has been a source of discussion in the UK and amongst other countries for many years. In 2016 a methodology to measure the level of AM has been published by a working group of the Institute of Acoustics. The research paper 'Review of the evidence on the response to amplitude modulation from wind turbines' has been published by the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy on 25th October 2017. This paper also includes a proposal for a penalty scheme, but is expressively not planning guidance.
