TI - Reducing uncertainty in underwater noise assessments for offshore wind (ReCon)
AU - Carbon Trust
AB - The Carbon Trust, in collaboration with ORJIP Offshore Wind partners, presents the results of the Reducing uncertainty in underwater noise assessment (ReCon) project, which include:A review of noise recordings from the installation of offshore wind monopiles and pin piles at 11 offshore wind farms in England, Scotland, the Netherlands and Germany.Across all projects, more than 165,000 single strikes were analysed to identify the key parameters influencing impact pile-driving sound level.Sensitivity analysis was performed to identify how modelling uncertainties can be reduced.Empirical noise recording data was compared with pre-construction modelling for 6 of the 11 projects.The report provides recommendations on how to improve noise predictions, field measurement design, and cross-project comparisons.
