| Title: | Study of environmental impacts of wind power plants aiming to support public policy in brazil |
| Authors: | Wilson Pereira Barbosa Filho Abílio Cesar Soares de Azevedo Andrea Brandão Andrade Antonella Lombardi Costa Ricardo Brant Pinheiro |
| Abstract: | This article presents a study about environmental impacts resulting from the construction and operation of wind power farms. For this matter, a research in national and international literature reviews was carried out, as well as technical visits to wind power plants in several Brazilian states and discussions with the working group about environmental licensing of wind mills in land surface of the Ministry of Environment, which FEAM (Fundação Estadual do Meio Ambiente – Environmental State Foundation) takes part, aiming the formation of plans, projects and wind power programs, according to the provisions of the “Carta dos Ventos” (Charter of Winds). These surveys were carried out in the last three years and used as base for the implementation of relevant work to the theme. The article discusses the impacts in biotic and physical environment, physical and socioeconomic status, identifying the biotic environment, which results from the removal of vegetation, intervention in fauna, degradation of the affected area, changes in the hydrostatic level of aquifer, and still on the socio-economic environment, the issue of noise, visual impact, the corona visual or glare, the electromagnetic interference, the strobe effect and the local interference. The noise and the strobe effect can harm the health of people near the plants, but the distance can avoid such effects. The generation of electricity through wind farms has major advantages in reducing greenhouse gases and CO2 concentration during operation when compared with other sources. However, the environmental impacts coming from the implementation and operation of a wind power plant cannot be neglected. |
