2.9 DeterminationofShadowFlickerImpactintheVicinityofProposedWindFarms
Shadow flicker is one of themost important “optical emissions” fromwind turbines,which must be considered during the planning phase. Rotating rotor blades cause aflashingeffectbyperiodicalblockingoff the sunlight,whichmay causedisturbanceofresidents in the vicinity of wind farms. For this reason, the determination of opticalemissions fromwind turbines forms an essential part of the approval process in theplanningphaseofwindpowerprojects.

Thedominatingpartoftheacousticnoiseemissionisusuallycausedbytheaerodynamicnoisefromtherotorblades.Adverseeffectsontheoverallsoundpowerlevelcanespe‐cially be causedby anunfavourable designof blade tips.
