Abstract
A method and an apparatus for controlling noise of multiple wind turbines. The method includes: determining a noise-influencing sector of each of the multiple wind turbines, based on positions of the multiple wind turbines and a position of a noise-influencing site; acquiring a current wind direction; determining whether there is at least one wind turbine of the multiple wind turbine under the current wind direction operating in the noise-influencing sector; and limiting output power of the at least one wind turbine, in a case that the determination is positive.
