Effect of wind turbines alongside motorways on drivers’ behaviour

Author:  de Ceunynck, Tim; et al.

This paper presents the results of a first study aimed at investigating whether the presence of wind turbines in close proximity to motorways leads to behavioural adaptations among passing drivers. Empirical data from loop detectors and temporary video cameras were analysed in a study employing a before-and-after design at a site near Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Analyses of driving speed and standard deviation of speed (corrected for trend effects through the use of control sites) were performed as well as analyses . . .

Ice throw from wind turbines: Assessment and risk management

Author:  Bredesen, Rolv

[excerpts] What is in-cloud icing? If temperatures are below 0°C and the structure is located inside a cloud (above cloud base height) we get in-cloud icing. The ice accretion rates increases with the relative windspeed and the moisture content of the cloud. Because the blade of a wind turbine moves fast there is an elevated hazard associated with ice throw and fall from turbines located in icing conditions. How far can the ice be thrown? Maximum throw distance (screening) : 1.5 . . .

Wind Farms and Public Use Airports – Why the FAA Fails to Ensure Air Safety

Author:  Armstrong, Alan

The explosion of wind turbine developments across the United States does not bode well for the continued viability of many public use airports. OVERVIEW OF THE PROBLEM Increasingly, wind farms with wind turbine generators (WTGs) nearly 500 feet above ground level litter the landscape. However, the disturbing reality is that these wind farms are being built in close physical proximity to public use airports. Because of their height and their interference with radar sites used by air traffic control and . . .
