HGC Engineering, Canada's Largest Noise Vibration and Acoustics Consulting Firm, Assesses Noise from Wind Energy Facilities
(PRWEB) November 20, 2006 - HGC Engineering has established itself as a North American leader in assessing and controlling environmental noise from wind energy facilities (wind farms). Over the past several years, the firm has conducted environmental noise impact assessments of wind farms in a number of Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions. They have also assisted municipalities in formulating Official Plan policies and in peer reviewing environmental noise studies by other consultants. On behalf of Natural Resources Canada, HGC Engineering recently completed a study of the Pubnico Point Wind Farm in Nova Scotia - an interesting and contentious situation involving both audible noise and infrasound. The results of that study (available for download at the HGC Weblog), were presented at the Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA) conference in Winnipeg this fall.
HGC Engineering is currently completing an overview and "best practice" guideline for sound from wind turbines for CanWEA that will be published in order to help educate developers and the public. Through their work in assessing and controlling noise pollution from wind farms, HGC Engineering has a strong familiarity with the operational characteristics of wind farms and the international standards relevant to wind turbines. They often conduct measurements using real time frequency analyser systems that are well suited for determining and defining the audible and infrasonic characteristics of the sound from wind turbines.
