Location & project design

Here you can write about information on the location and information on the project. E.g. Eurowind Energy wants to set up XXX wind turbines and XX ha. Solar panels in an area North of Herregaarden Marsvinslund in the Northeren parts of the Muncipality of Silkeborg at the border to Viborg Muncipality.

Here you can write about the purpose of the project and why is the project relevant together with a placement and location picture of the project.

 

Here you can explain the numbers behind the project such as the number of turbines and the expected production.

Great sources for information about wind turbines and renewable energy.

Headline

It is important to find good and solid sources that are relevant to the specific market and country. In Denmark, we have a website called “VidenomVind” (the knowledge of wind) which educates and informs about newly raised wind turbines to increase a great relationship with stakeholders, interested parties and neighbours. The purpose is also to create a positive dialogue about wind turbines and the benefits that come along with having wind turbines in the landscape.

 

Headline

Another relevant source is Green Power Denmark, which is Denmark’s green business organisation and focuses on raising awareness about the Danish energy sector.

It is important that each relevant source is introduced with a short text about their purpose and what they do to establish relevance as well as an image and link to the website.

FAQ

Can the blades be reused?

In the FAQ section (frequently asked questions) you can have e.g. three questions and more and answers to these. The question above is an example and you can choose to change it or answer it. What is the answer in your country?

How much noise is a wind turbine allowed to make?

Answer: Regarding ordinary noise

Wind turbines comply 24/7 with the noise requirements 42 dB and 44 dB at 6 and 8 m/s respectively. The noise requirements are set at these wind speeds as this is here the wind turbines make the most noise.

In noise-sensitive areas such as residential and holiday areas wind turbines can only make a maximum noise of 37 dB or 39 dB at 6 and 8 m/s.


Regarding low-frequency noise

Wind turbines raised after 1/1 2012 must comply 24/7 with a requirement of a maximum of 20 dB low-frequency noise to neighbours - calculated inside the neighbouring house. The requirement applies regardless of whether the turbine is in an open country or near a noise-sensitive area.
Noise from new, large wind turbines has a relatively smaller proportion of low-frequency noise compared to older, large wind turbines.

How does shadow casting from wind turbines occur, and is it problematic?

The answer may depend on the specific country and market.
