ABSTRACT:
A system and method of providing noise control for a wind turbine are provided. The system includes at least one blade operably mounted on a wind turbine, and one or more sensors for receiving one or more signals relating to an operating characteristic of the wind turbine. A controller is configured for evaluating the signals to determine if they are outside a predetermined range. The system is configured to adjust operating characteristics and/or generate alarms if the signals are outside a predetermined range. The method includes the steps of receiving one or more signals from one or more sensors, determining if the signals are outside a predetermined range, and adjusting an operating parameter of the wind turbine or generating an alarm in response to the signals received from the sensors. The operating parameter can be adjusted to alter the amount of noise generated by the wind turbine.
