Shadow Flicker Analysis
Shadow flicker analysis is one of the key detailed analyses when carrying out an environmental impact assessment in the context of wind farm development.
The shadow flicker effect is created when the wind turbine blades move with the rotor. Each wind turbine blade casts a shadow on land and structures in the vicinity. This effect is most apparent in the early morning and late evening hours when the sun is low on the horizon.
Shadow Flicker Effect
Quality of Human Life
The shadow flicker effect can have a real impact on a person’s quality of life. Thanks to the simulations carried out, it is possible to introduce a number of measures to minimize this effect, which will consequently contribute to reducing the negative impact on human life.
