Wind Farms & Aviation
Developments worldwide can receive objections from numerous sources, including Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). Often such objections are related to radar interference, however issues can also be raised due to [...]
Overview The DeTect Harrier Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) enables lights to be illuminated as aircraft approach a wind farm. Lights are extinguished once the aircraft leaves the area. The [...]
Wind turbines and airports co-exist throughout the world despite the fact that wind turbines can present an obstruction risk to low flying aircraft as well as potentially affect radar systems. [...]
Previous articles: Radar concerns have rendered two turbines motionless Aveillant technology to mitigate the effects of two wind turbines at East Midlands Airport Overview Three years in the making, the [...]
In Brief It is a zone where a radar ignores interference. When properly implemented interference is rejected whilst genuine targets (aircraft) are displayed. Non Auto Initiation Zones (NAIZs) are sometimes [...]
Pager Power has over a decade of experience dealing with and overcoming wind farm radar objections. Many potential mitigation techniques are available to overcome said objections however some solutions are [...]
Wind Turbines cause turbulence which can affect small aircraft that fly through it. Pager Power has undertaken a number of wind turbine wake turbulence assessments and has managed flight trials [...]
What Are Obstacle Limitation Surfaces? The UK has [1] 129 licensed civil aerodromes (and even more unlicensed aerodromes). In order to protect aircraft against potential collision risk, it is necessary to [...]
RAF Objections Renewable energy developers in the UK regularly face objections from the Royal Air Force (RAF) /Ministry Of Defence (MOD). This is particularly common for wind developments due to [...]
Modern aviation infrastructure around the world is underpinned by sophisticated electronic equipment. This ranges from well-known apparatus like radar to lesser-known equipment such as Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), navigation beacons, [...]
