RSG Senior Consultant Isaac Old, INCE Bd. Cert. and Timothy Carson of RWE CleanEnergy, LLC. recently coauthored an article on directional noise-reduced operations (NROs) for wind turbines that was published in WindTech International.

The article, titled “Implementing and Measuring the Effectiveness of Directional Noise-Reduced Operations (NROs),” is based on research our team conducted and presented at the 10th International Conference on Wind Turbine Noise last year. Our team used real-world project measurements to reveal how NROs can be used to diminish sound emissions under varying meteorological conditions and time periods.
