A Method for Estimating the Environmental Impact of a Wind Farm by Fuzzy Logic Techniques

Abstract

A very interesting question in studying the prob-lems connected with wind farms is undoubtedly their impact on the landscape in which they are installed. Among the different methods for evaluating this impact, that defined by Électricité de France (EDF) has been taken into examination in this paper.

This study aims at improving the EDF method by means of Fuzzy Logic techniques. This results in a new method that implies a clear simplification in the application of the EDF method.
