Abstract

IBM SPSS Modeler was used to develop a noise prediction model for the wind power plant located in Nakhon Ratchasima province, Thailand. Four individual models (CHAID, CART, Linear, and Neural network) and their ensemble were developed and compared. The model's inputs are distance, time, wind speed, wind direction, temperature, humidity, and pressure. The output is the equivalent sound pressure level. From the field measurement, the average sound level (43.0-47.8 dB(A)) was higher for the measurement point closer to the wind turbine. The measured sound at various times of the day shows higher sound levels in the morning and evening, indicating the effect of human activity. The most suitable technique was the Ensemble model, where the cross-validation for training and testing provides RMSE (10.08%) and MAE (5.89%).
