Measurement of Electromagnetic Radiation around Wind Turbines

Abstract

The number of wind energy plants in energy production is rapidly increasing in many countries of the world. In recent years, as an alternative energy source, it has been observed that wind energy installations have been established in various regions of our country. Wind turbines are sometimes discussed with the concern that the electromagnetic fields around them can cause health problems. In this study, ELF electromagnetic field levels are given, obtained around the 16.2 km long transmission line which enables the energy generated in 50 wind energy energy central turbines operating in Izmir-Karaburun locality to be transported to the 380kV Karaburun Havza GIS TM transformer center. The results are obtained in magnetic field and electric field. And they are evaluated for electromagnetic pollution in terms of environment and human health.
