Should you be investing in Kenyan PV?
Solar Resource Kenya is located on the equator and receives a high daily insolation of between 4 and 6 kWh per square metre which means a high yield from solar photovoltaic (PV) panels. The greatest solar radiation levels occur in the Rift Valley region to the north of Nairobi. Growing…
Understanding radar objections for building developments
All modern primary surveillance radar (PSR) have the capability to remove returns from static structures. This is essential to ensure that the radar can work effectively in built up areas or where terrain can obstruct the radar’s beam. Both PSR and secondary surveillance radar (SSR), however, are susceptible to the…
How it works – Terma SCANTER 4002
Wind turbines interfere with airport and defence radar system. Terma of Denmark supplies a radar which can detect aircraft whilst ignoring wind turbines. A lot of quite complex technical information is published. In this article we explain, in simple terms, what makes the Terma “Scanter 4002 Wind Farm Compliant Air…
Old radio technology blocks French wind farms
Wind turbines can interfere with radio systems by blocking and reflecting radio signals. France has 96 VHF omnirange radio (VOR) beacons which aircraft pilots use for navigation. Interference concerns to a range of 15 kilometres mean that hundreds of wind turbines cannot be permitted. Upgrading or decommissioning the VOR can…
Floating solar arrays come to the UK
You won’t have seen one of these in the UK before, but you may do in the future. The UK’s first floating solar photovoltaic (PV) array at Sheeplands Farm near Wargrave became operational last month. The 200kW project, which received planning consent in June, cost £250,000 and is expected to…
3 reasons to look forward to RenewableUK Annual Exhibition & Conference 2014
Learning industry updates, side events and meeting up with other like-minded professionals. There is a lot to look forward to at the RenewableUK Annual Exhibition and Conference (RUKACE), and we’re excited to be exhibiting (stand 228). With only one day to go until the start of event, we have been…
Global milestone for renewable energy
Renewable energy contributions The International Energy Agency has published its Medium-Term Renewable Energy Market Report for 2014. This has revealed that 2013 saw almost 22% of the global energy consumption come from renewable sources – a new record. The same report also stated that generation from renewables is now on…
£1.5 billion Ministry of Defence radar contract – what does it mean for wind development?
A new consortium called Aquila has won a 22 year contract to provide military air traffic control equipment for the UK armed forces. We consider what this means for wind farm developers. Thousands of wind turbines cannot currently be built because of radar interference issues. The 28 Watchman Primary Surveillance…
