Description
The study investigates a novel wind turbine (vertical axis technology) with regard to its environmental Impact:
- Shadow cast
- Noise Impact
- Impact Flora & Fauna
- Landscape influence
The results may be used to assess a building application for a pilot plant. During the subsequent pilot operation of the plant, the impact can be validated (follow-up project).
