    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly for a wind turbine includes a rotor blade having surfaces defining a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge, and a trailing edge extending between a blade tip and a blade root. The rotor blade assembly also includes at least one noise reducer adjacent to the trailing edge. The noise reducer(s) includes at least one serration extending beyond the trailing edge in a chord-wise direction of the rotor blade. The serration(s) also includes a suction side surface and a pressure side surface. The suction side surface defines a first radius of curvature in the chord-wise direction and the pressure side surface defines a second radius of curvature in the chord-wise direction. Further, the first radius of curvature may be larger than the second radius of curvature such that the suction side surface is flatter than the pressure side surface or vice versa.

    Abstract: A wind turbine blade includes a trailing edge including a radially inboard portion and a radially outboard portion opposite the radially inboard portion and a retrofit system coupled to the trailing edge. The retrofit system includes a mounting structure for coupling the retrofit system to the trailing edge and at least one serrated portion extending at least partially along the mounting structure. The serrated portion includes at least one substantially acoustically absorbent material. A method for reducing noise emission from a wind turbine blade including a trailing edge and retrofit system is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for controlling a wind farm includes: receiving temperature data associated with a plurality of locations along a sound path between the wind farm and a sound immission point from one or more sensors; estimating a propagation characteristic of the sound path based at least in part on the temperature data; predicting a noise level at the sound immission point based at least in part on the propagation characteristic; determining a control signal for one or more wind turbines in the wind farm based at least in part on the noise level; and using the control signal to control the one or more wind turbines.

    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly for a wind turbine. The rotor blade assembly includes a rotor blade having surfaces defining a pressure side, a suction side, a leading edge, and a trailing edge extending between a blade tip and a blade root. The rotor blade assembly also includes at least one noise reducer secured at the trailing edge. The noise reducer(s) includes at least one serration having a base portion and at least one side edge feature extending from the base portion. Further, the base portion extends along a first plane. The side edge feature(s) extends out of the first plane so as to reduce vortices generated by the serration(s).

    Abstract: A rotor blade assembly is provided having an airflow modifying element for suppressing airflow noise caused by a drain hole. The rotor blade assembly includes at least one rotor blade including a body shell extending between a blade root and a blade tip. Further, the rotor blade includes at least one drain hole having a diameter. The drain hole is configured within the body shell of the rotor blade. At least one airflow modifying element is configured on the body shell a predetermined distance from the drain hole such that the airflow modifying element reduces airflow noise caused by the drain hole. In one embodiment, the predetermined distance is substantially equal to the diameter of the drain hole.
