Wind Energy: Societal and Human Impacts presents the theoretical basis for the various impacts of wind turbines on humans. These impacts include noise (in the audible, low-frequency, and infrasound ranges), visual effects (shadow flicker and light reflections), electromagnetic fields, vibrations and oscillations from wind turbines.
Wind Energy: Societal and Human Impacts presents the theoretical basis for the various impacts of wind turbines on humans. These impacts include noise (in the audible, low-frequency, and infrasound ranges), visual effects (shadow flicker and light reflections), electromagnetic fields, vibrations and oscillations from wind turbines, as well as mechanical impacts and physical risk related to turbine collapse or turbine component failure, throwing of ice or blade parts, fires, etc. Further, the book examines the legal framework, policy approaches, and investment processes in wind energy sector. It addresses the issue of siting and minimum distances between turbines and residential buildings and proposes modifications to legislation, as well as guidelines and recommendations related to environmental impact reports for wind farms, assessment of such reports, monitoring of such impacts, and the performance of a post-implementation analysis.

Prof. Piotr Kacejko, Ph.D., is a graduate of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Lublin
University of Technology. He specializes in the analysis of electric power systems. He is
coauthor of computer programs used in the power sector and author of more than 200 articles,
papers and research reports. His work carried out over the past 15 years has concerned
the determination of connection possibilities, the operation of RES units in the power system
and the study of stability in system development planning. He is an expert appointed by the
Energy Regulatory Office. He is also a member of the Committee on Electrical Engineering
of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and a member of the Association of Polish Electrical
Engineers and the American IEEE. He served as Rector of Lublin University of Technology
from 2012 to 2020.
Jacek Szulczyk, Ph.D., is a doctor of technical sciences with specialization in vibroacoustics
and a graduate of the Poznan University of Technology. For almost 10 years he cooperated
with the Department of Vibroacoustics and Biodynamics of Systems, first as a doctoral
student, then as an assistant. He currently works as Chief Acoustician at the Acoustics and
Environmental Laboratory of EKOPOMIAR. He is a member of the National Commission
for Environmental Impact Assessment. For more than 10 years he has been carrying out
acoustic tasks related to the design and measurement of various noise sources, including
wind turbines.
Adam Zagubie, Ph.D., is a researcher and teacher at the Koszalin University of Technology.
He has 20 years of measurement practice in the field of acoustics and vibration. He is a contractor
and manager in several research projects on vibration and noise analysis. He authored and
coauthored more than 30 scientific articles, and published in foreign and domestic journals.
He is a reviewer for several foreign journals. He is also an author or coauthor of more than
300 expert reports in the field of environmental protection against noise and vibration, for
industrial plants, roads, ports, ships, passenger car ferries and wind farms.
