System, Device, And Method For Noise Based Operation Of Wind Turbines

Abstract: A system (400) for use in operating a plurality of wind turbines (435,440,445) is provided. The system includes a plurality of wind turbine controllers (200), each wind turbine controller of the plurality of wind turbine controllers operatively coupled to a wind turbine of a plurality of wind turbines, and a site controller (415) coupled in communication with the plurality of wind turbine controllers and is configured to determine an aggregate noise level at a geographic position based on a plurality of noise levels associated with the plurality of wind turbines, compare the aggregate noise level to a target noise level associated with the geographic position, and when the aggregate noise level exceeds the target noise level, transmit an operational adjustment to a first wind turbine controller of the plurality of wind turbine controllers, wherein the first wind turbine controller is operatively coupled to a first wind turbine, and a noise level associated with the first wind turbine is reduced when the first wind turbine controller applies the operational adjustment.
