It was a peaceful surrounding in Arnhem.  Overall, my Quest was an enriching and interesting experience. Thanks to Mr. Sanders H.J., Erik Koppen and the team of noise and air quality experts in the Netherlands. Read more below about my nice and memorable experience in The Netherlands. Motivation & Quest Preparation India has a diversity of natural resources including the wind and solar energy. Therefore, wind and solar projects are being implemented in India on a large scale.

The Indian government, investors and developers are promoting renewable energy on a large scale. But the impact on the environment and people is not under control. Therefore, scientific studies and best practices adopted across the world can help our clients to get the best solution. During one of our ESIA project executions, I got the opportunity to interact with Mr. Erik Koppen in The Netherlands who helped us to complete a shadow flicker study for one of the wind power plants in India. Wind power plants in India emerged just recently, since 4-5 years. That is why issues like bird and bat mortality and shadow flickering are […]
