Eurocontrol radar wind turbine guidelines have changed!
EUROCONTROL new wind turbine guidelines (version 1.2) were signed off on 10th October 2014. This superseded version 1.1 written in June 2010. The guidance is used by radar operators throughout Europe as well as in countries outside Europe like South Africa. The original guidelines were produced with some wind industry consultation…
MOD challenge wind turbine planning permission on grounds of ‘National security’
The MOD has challenged the planning permission for two single wind turbine developments in the East Riding of Yorkshire following the omission of key radar related conditions in the planning consent forms. The two 75m tip height turbines may affect the Air Defence (AD) radar at Staxton Wold, which is…
We’ll be attending Solar Energy UK 2014
Last year it brought together 2,424 visitors from 42 countries. It is the number 1 UK event for solar professionals. This year it’s set to be bigger, with more exhibitors and a new pavilion to showcase new technologies… We’re talking about Solar Energy UK of course. And we’ll be attending. When…
Why is the wind farm radar problem difficult to solve?
The problem has had many people frustrated for over 10 years. Attempts at solutions have been made from aviation stakeholders, wind farm developers, investors, planners and governmental agencies. However, up to date there has not been a single fix that has managed to completely solve it. Just why is that? A bit of background… If…
Reliable height calculations for wind turbine radar interference decision making
Many of you will appreciate that accurately calculating height data when performing wind turbine – radar interference analysis is important. There are many methods to choose from, but at Pager Power we selected to use a Weighted Average algorithm in our assessments. And we’d like to share with you why.…
What if there was no wind turbine radar interference?
The problem of wind farms interfering with radar has hindered tens of GWs of wind energy around the world. Developers, turbine manufacturers, aviation stakeholders, radar and technology providers have spent the last 10 years searching for a solution… But what if one was to be found and the problem solved.…
Cumulative impact of solar photovoltaic developments
Whilst the impact of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) developments to their surrounding environment might be small or negligible, the combined or cumulative effects of multiple developments may have a greater impact. Solar PV developments can affect their surrounding environment and hence a number of environmental impacts are required to be assessed…
TPS-77: Mitigating the effects of wind turbines on Air Defence Radar
Across the globe tens of GWs of wind turbine development have been hindered by stringent radar safeguarding criteria. Especially long range Air Defence Radar are often the source of sustained objections from Military Authorities. A technical mitigation option that has resulted in the removal of Air Defence Radar objections is…
