WEA-Acceptance Data: Wind Turbine Dataset Including Acoustical, Meteorological and Turbine Parameters (Version 2.0)

Within the project WEA-Acceptance¹, extensive measurement campaigns were carried out, which included the recording of acoustic, meteorological and turbine-specific data. Acoustic quantities were measured at several distances to the wind turbine and under various atmospheric and turbine conditions.

In the project WEA-Acceptance-Data², the acquired measurement data will be stored in a structured and anonymized form and will be provided for research purposes. In addition to the data, first evaluations as well as reference data sets for chosen scenarios will be published for the validation and verification of simulation models.

In this version of the data platform, a specification 2.0 and an anonymized data set are published. The specification contains the concept of the data platform, which is primarily based on the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, and Reusable) principle. The data set consists of turbine-specific, meteorological and acoustic data recorded over one month. Herein, the data were corrected, conditioned and anonymized so that relevant outliers are marked and erroneous data are removed in the data set. The acoustic data initially includes anonymized sound pressure levels and one-third octave spectra averaged over ten minutes. Higher resolutions of those data, anonymized time signals and the utilized scripts will be published in later versions. In addition, the metadata and an overview of data availability are uploaded. Important information such as the approach for data anonymization is briefly described in the ReadMe file.
