RoBin - A one-man measurement system for standard acoustic emission measurement according to IEC 61400-11

Wind turbines are built at more and more locations all over the planet and this makes their noise emission an important subject. The international standard IEC 61400-11 and the German "Technische Richtlinie fur Windenergieanlagen, Teil 1" of the FGW were set up in order to unify the evaluation of noise emission. Measurement of noise emission according to these standards is linked to formidable challenges, especially for the installation of testing equipment and evaluation of data. After a short reminder on the ISO 61400-11 standard the proposed paper will discuss the details of operational constraints linked with on-site measurements and how modern communication technologies help in an easy system deployment and most efficient operation for the benefits of its users.
