[DREAL LR] Wind farms in Languedoc-Roussillon

A wind farm is composed of one or more wind turbines producing electricity. The operation of a wind farm is the subject of administrative procedures (building permits, classified installations for the protection of the environment, derogation from the destruction of #x27; protected species if necessary...). Each park can have only one operator.
The polygonal geometry of #x27;a wind farm n' is only that; an artifice proposed to map small-scale wind turbines. A wind farm is therefore represented by arbitrary boundaries and does not correspond to any administrative or material control over the land.

__Origin__

Georeferencing of wind turbine masts (data provided by l' operator or from records transmitted by the operator) allows to establish the geometry of a wind farm. The delimitation of a wind farm results from a geometric calculation whose parameters have been arbitrarily chosen: each wind farm polygon is geometrically created by a closing operation: erosion of 300 meters (or buffer of -300 meters) of the 500-metre buffer generated around wind turbines belonging to the same park. The geometry thus obtained can, if necessary, be the subject of additional corrections to avoid any overlay that may lead to a risk of incomprehension in an uninformed user (e.g. a covering of zones d' habitation).
