Visual impact assessment method for wind parks: A case study in Crete

The main asset of the proposed methodology is the combined use of quantitative indicators and dynamic 3D computer simulation. The visual impact of a WP installation is determined, through the comparative consideration of the quantitative and qualitative results. The proposed methodology simulates the changes after the WP installation realistically and calculates the grade of the visual impact, and was applied to a WP in the prefecture of Chania, Crete.
