Solar parks and wind farms are an attractive investment in the UK and around the world. Both can cause visual effects that may be of concern to planning authorities, and could hinder project development. For wind turbines this is in the form of Shadow Flicker. It can occur when the…
Solar farms and wind developments are two of the most prolific renewable energy technologies currently available. The compatibility of these technologies at a single site is a topic that requires consideration because: Many companies at the forefront of the renewable energy industry are engaged in large scale projects for both…
The impact of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems on aviation activity is something that solar developers today are addressing more and more often. Worldwide the growth of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems is continuing with an installed capacity of 38.4 GW in 2013 increasing from 30 GW in 2012 . With the…
Repowering operational wind turbines is gaining popularity amongst wind farm developers and all the signs show that it is a market very likely to grow in the coming years all over the world. In a nutshell, repowering is the process of replacing old wind turbines with fewer and taller which…
A large wind farm standing idle for a year could easily cost £30m in lost generation whilst integrating new radar for mitigation could cost another £10m. Wind turbines interfere with radar and mismanaged radar issues can prevent wind farm construction; stop generation or produce large unexpected charges for technical mitigation.…
The closing of Manston Airport has triggered a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) review of its airspace. Two Transponder Mandatory Zones (TMZs) are defined around the London Array and Thanet wind farms. These enabled Manston airport to safely manage the effects of the wind farms on its radar systems. Pilots flying…
The UK Ministry of Defence (MOD) notified the Comhairle nan Eilean Siar (hereafter referred to as the Western Isles Council) of their objection to 3 wind developments. But the Western Isles Council discounted it and granted consent. The MOD, challenged this through legal action and has succeeded, on the basis…
Shielding from radar is something that is considered by most developers and planners when designing the layout of a wind development. And why wouldn’t they? It is a proven mitigation solution that has been widely used to help many wind turbines gain planning consent. Also, it is highly cost effective.…
