Vibrations induced by machinery, traffic and other stochastic frequency-rich sources may cause deformations and cracks on both structural and non-structural elements but also fatigue related problems. Moreover, vibrations in buildings may cause discomfort for people and animals. On the other hand, wind turbines may often be found in urban areas surrounded by buildings or placed a top of a building. Although the turbines support green engineering and production of clean energy, they also produce vibrations that may negatively influence the behaviour of both structures and living beings. This paper aims to investigate effects of vibrations generated by small-scale wind turbines placed on buildings in urban areas and also to reduce those vibrations by modelling and installing different kinds of damping devices. A platform for this research is a soil-structure-wind turbine system which was modelled by using software Ashes 1.2 and SAP2000. Structures selected for this case study are typical buildings that can be found in city of Osijek, and modelled wind turbine is Bergey Excel 1kW, which is available on the market of Republic of Croatia. The aim of this research was to reduce vibrations by using the most convenient principle of damping for small wind turbines – isolation. According to that, the influence of elastomeric and spring device were compared. Additionally, the process of TMD device modelling is presented in this paper. The analysis of the results was carried out for different characteristic points on shell elements on different floors. Those values are compared to values given by different norms and standards.
