Investigation of the Impact of Wind Turbines on the Einstein Telescope — Marc Boxberg2, •Tom Niggemann1, Niklas Nippe1, Achim Stahl1, and Florian Wagner2 for the Einstein Telescope collaboration — 1III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University — 2Geophysical Imaging and Monitoring RWTH Aachen University
Wind turbines, critical to renewable energy production, can generate seismic noise that may interfere with highly sensitive observatories, such as the planned Einstein Telescope (ET). Direct and gravitational couplings are a limiting factor for detection of gravitational waves in the low-frequency range. The importance of selecting and adapting wind turbine designs to minimize seismic noise is highlighted. This talk will discuss and evaluate the influence of various wind turbine tower constructions---namely, lattice (girder) masts, wooden towers, steel towers of different heights, and hybrid towers---on seismic noise propagation, with a particular focus on their impact on the ET.
