|
(1) Reference has been made on the Type Approval report of a typical
600 - 850kW class wind turbine with adjustment to |
|
represent the
worst case scenario of a maximum sound power level of 100dB(A). The sound power levels of the |
|
wind turbine are measured in
accordance with the Standard “The
Danish Ministry of Energy Order No. 304 of 14 May |
|
1991" and the guidelines from the
Danish Environmental Agency's Laboratory. The report
indicates that there are |
|
no audible tones in the noise. |
|
|
|
(2) Basing on ISO 9613:Part 2 for Atmospheric Absorption at 20°C and
Relative Humidity 70%, with reference |
|
made on
the approved EIA for Construction of an
International Theme Park in Penny’s Bay of North Lantau and its |
|
Essential
Associated Infrastructures, February 2000, ERM |
