@article{10902/34757, year = {2019}, month = {5}, url = {https://hdl.handle.net/10902/34757}, abstract = {Within a repowering context, this paper opens a new field of application for visibility and Visual Impact Assessment (VIA) procedures in the decision-making process typical of the design stage of Wind Farms (WF). The proposed methodology presents a test capable of reporting on the visual sustainability of different layouts. It is called Equivalent Visual Impact (EVI). To work with EVI, visibility data have to be numerically available at a level of each pixel and each Wind Turbine (WT). This is called High Resolution Data (HRD). The paper shows how these ideas, EVI and HRD, were applied to a real repowering experience; the result was that the WF could sustain an increment in its power by 37.25% with no additional visual effects. Other associated consequences are discussed.}, publisher = {Elsevier}, publisher = {Renewable Energy , 2019, 135, 197-207}, title = {Wind farm repowering guided by visual impact criteria}, author = {Manchado del Val, Cristina and Gómez Jáuregui, Valentín and Lizcano Amorocho, Piedad Eliana and Iglesias Prieto, Andrés and Gálvez Tomida, Akemi and Otero González, César Antonio}, }
