How it works – Thales STAR 2000 Radar
Thales standard airport Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) is the STAR 2000. The radar is quite advanced with a number of existing in-built capabilities for mitigating the effects of wind turbines. Application There are over 120 operational Thales Star 2000 radars all over the world. They are located in countries including…
Potential for rooftop solar PV in London
Figure 1: Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels in London. London, one of the largest, diverse and exciting cities, hosts more than 16,000 solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on its roofs! However, London has still a long way to go in order to meet its true solar potential. A 2011 study by the…
Construction Starts on 1st US Offshore Wind Farm
The initial offshore turbine foundation for the Block Island Wind Farm was lowered into the water on Sunday 26th July 2015. This marks the start of the construction of the first offshore wind farm in the United States (US). Weighing over 400 ton, and put in place using the largest…
Permitted Development Planning Guidance for Solar PV in England
This article provides an overview of the planning guidance in England relating to the Permitted Development (PD) of solar Photovoltaic (PV) projects, particularly commercial rooftop.
