Wind turbine and method for noise reduction for a wind turbine
Abstract:
Wind turbine comprising a tower (2) bearing a nacelle (5) and a rotor (3) with a plurality of rotor blades (4) and an active noise reduction device (7), wherein the active noise reduction device (7) comprises at least one actuator (8), at least one unsteady pressure sensor (9) adapted to produce an output signal corresponding to a turbulent flow condition during operation of the rotor blade (4), at least one noise sensor (10) adapted to produce an output signal corresponding to a noise generated by the rotor blade (4) at the location of the noise sensor (10), and a control unit (11), wherein the unsteady pressure sensor (9) and the actuator (8) are arranged on at least one of the rotor blades (4) and the noise sensor (10) is arranged at the nacelle (5) and/or at the tower (2), wherein the control unit (11) is adapted to control the actuator (8) in dependence of the output signals of the unsteady pressure sensor (9) and the noise sensor (10) to emit an anti-noise signal at least partly reducing the noise generated by the rotor blade (4).
