The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) have published a document outlining their response to the transition from the current Renewables Obligation (RO) scheme to Contract for Differences (CfDs) and resulting grace periods. In which are details about a RO grace period relating to developments delayed by radar. About the grace…
A proposed 36 turbine wind farm in Canada caused Environment Canada to raise concerns about the development interfering with weather radar, reports the Sault Star in an article published late in February 2014. The concern regarding the Bow Lake Wind Farm development and the Montreal River Weather Radar (near Sault Ste Marie) specifically was first…
What are the issues? Windmills may impact upon television and radio communication signals and it is therefore necessary to identify, assess and quantify any effects which may occur. Broadcast services and point to point communications links are the most common infrastructure to be affected by windmills and interference can appear…
It is the case that planning applications for renewable energy developments, such as a single turbine or wind farms, are sometimes refused. However this is not always the end of the road, because developers can decide to formally appeal. This can be in the form of a hearing, written representation…
The remote radar heads (RRHs) at Buchan and Benbecula will undergo an upgrade which will help minimise the effects of wind turbines on the installations. Reported by the Press & Journal, the upgrade has been funded by wind developers and will consist of installing a Lockheed Martin TPS-77 radar at…
The NATS En Route (NERL) Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar installations at Great Dun Fell and Lowther Hill are set to undergo technical modification, developed under the Project RM program, to mitigate the impact of their proposed wind developments. This has arisen, after an agreement to fund the enhancements was…
We have been made aware that the aerodrome RAF Church Fenton and the Precision Approach Radar (PAR) are no longer safeguarded by the Ministry of Defence/ Defence Infrastructure Organisation (MOD/DIO). Our database has been updated accordingly, so that our reports still remain highly accurate. This means that if you were…
What are the issues? Wind energy facilities can interfere with radar systems. As physical structures they interact with radar signals that reach them. Furthermore, they have large moving components, meaning that each individual windmill can be detected as a moving target and displayed on a radar screen as an aircraft. Wind…
LATEST TWEETS
This month in our Back to Basics series, we uncover the ways in which energy generated by wind and solar farms can be stored and how this technology will shape the future of our energy systems. Learn more: https://www.pagerpower.com/news/back-to-basics-part-4-energy-storage/
#energystorage
We examine the possibility of harnessing the massive energy output from stars rather than capturing a fraction of the sunlight that reaches Earth. Learn more: https://www.pagerpower.com/news/cosmic-megastructures-dyson-sphere-and-future-of-solar-energy/
#solarenergy
We review a study examining methods to reduce the impact of airfield solar on aircraft and facilitate more renewable energy generation. Learn more: https://www.pagerpower.com/news/balancing-solar-energy-generation-pilot-safety-at-airports/
