First floating solar plant installed in India
Last month Vikram Solar successfully installed India’s first floating solar plant as part of a trial project. The PV solar manufacturing firm, who has headquarters in are Kolkata, wanted to test their new PV module technology intended to be deployed on bodies of water. About the Solar Plant The country’s…
Aveillant technology to mitigate the effects of two wind turbines at EMA
Aveillant are to use their 3D holographic radar system™ to mitigate the impact of two wind turbines upon the Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) at East Midlands Airport (EMA). The turbines, measuring 130m to tip, were installed in late 2013 and have since stood dormant for a long period of time…
Wind farm radar and TV interference in the USA
The USA, like many other countries around the world, has an interest in the development of renewable energy sources. Wind power is an important feature of the renewable energy landscape in the USA. The increase in wind capacity from 2001 onwards is shown in the figure below . Like any…
Small unlicensed airfields vs wind developments
Aviation constraints are a well-known adversary for wind developers in the UK. Issues are generally associated with large airports equipped with radar and other equipment. However, small unlicensed airfields can be affected by wind developments. Small airfields are often very valuable to their local community and their objections are taken…
Goole Fields Wind Farm buys into Little John radar solution
Radar constraints pose a significant barrier to wind developments in the UK. In particular, ‘primary surveillance radar’ are common reasons for objection because wind turbines can affect them in a variety of ways. The most significant issue is the presence of ‘clutter’ on the radar operator’s screen. Clutter is the…
Storm, hurricane or wind turbines? A short review of OPERA Guidelines for weather radar & wind turbine interference
Meteorological agencies around the world use radar to detect weather phenomena. Wind turbines are large structures that due to their size and operation can interfere with the detection capabilities of weather radar (i.e. weather forecasting, precipitation measurements, extreme weather phenomena warnings, etc.).OPERA, an EUMETNET working group has previously investigated the…
2014: A record year in the completion of tall buildings
2014 was a record year in the completion of tall buildings. 97 buildings with an overall height of more than 200 metres were completed; this is the equivalent of approximately more than 60 floors. These were constructed in 54 cities from 19 countries . Hong Kong in China, New York City…
FAA restricts building heights in Miami for aviation safety
In recent news it was mentioned that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requested that the overall height of four building developments in the city of Miami needs to be lowered by 13% – 55% of the planned height. The height reduction is due to flying safety concerns. Tall buildings…
