HETMAN IN NORWAY

From June 14-17, our representation of UAM, AkustiX and GIG was in Norway for a study visit with Mr. Truls Gjestland at the SINTEF institute. During the stay, a seminar was held,
at which we were introduced to the principles of SINTEF and also discussed the social aspects of wind turbines. Participants also had the opportunity to analyze in detail the operation of the NORD2000 algorithm used in Norway for wind turbine noise prediction.

The participants visited a wind farm located in the hills near the sea. The farm’s operator talked about the legal aspects of the farms’ operation in Norway and outlined the relationship between the manager and local residents.

The friendly atmosphere throughout the trip allowed both to acquire a lot of new knowledge
as well as establish better relations between the project partners.
