Abstract

This chapter provides an overview of the wind turbine standards, covering their design and safety requirements, control and protective mechanisms, fire prevention systems, and noise regulations. Their significance and benefits are highlighted as well. Moreover, recent developments in wind turbines are presented, notably on their aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, to underline key issues that are being addressed to improve turbine performance. Hence, several innovative solutions for noise reductions and flow modifiers are highlighted. Discussions on these advances demonstrate existing gaps between the standard practice and the current progress in research to identify potentials for improvements and upgrades of the standards.
