Environmental effects of urban wind energy harvesting: a review by Ioannis Tsionas, Maider Llaguno-Munitxa, André Stephan

“…Given the heterogeneity of urban conditions, the implementation of SUWTs requires detailed local environmental assessment to characterise accurately most environmental effects, notably the net life-cycle primary energy performance and associated GHG emissions, raw materials depletion, recycling, safety, noise, visual and light pollution, and effects on urban wildlife. Effects that require further investigation and which possibly raise regulatory or social acceptance issues are identified and discussed. …”

“…To classify the WSD into its four classes (healthy, low infestation degree, medium infestation degree, and high infestation degree), two types of ML algorithms were tested; classical machine learning methods, namely, support vector machine (SVM) and k-nearest neighbors (KNN), and ensemble learning methods such as random forest (RF) and light gradient boosting machine (LightGBM). The ML models were trained and evaluated using two datasets: the first is composed of the extracted GLCM features only, and the second combines GLCM and HSV descriptors. …”
