The New White Gold – Lithium
Background As conventional power plants are replaced by intermittent renewable generation and as our cars turn electric the demand for high performing rechargeable batteries is rising across the world. Lithium is one of the best materials for these batteries but the metal is expensive and the mining process can have…
Wind Farm Radar Mitigation – Data Costs
Overview Wind farm operators may be asked to pay licence fees for using data from one radar for mitigating the effects of their turbines on another radar. We discuss the radar data costs associated with the development of wind farms in the vicinity of radar facilities. Wind Farms and Radar…
How does Radar Mitigation Work?
Overview Many modern radar have in-built mitigation to reject the effects of wind turbines. This article considers the in-built design features that allow these radar to do this. Radar Radar are designed to detect aircraft by sending and receiving radio signals. Radar are also affected by other objects, however, such…
Amazon Drone Update
Background Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) can potentially make delivery of goods quicker and easier as UAVs can fly quickly from local distribution centres to consumers. There are many challenges that prevent a cost effective and safe service being launched now. Notwithstanding these challenges progress is being made in the United…
Big Investors tell Big Industry to curb CO2 emissions
Background The Climate Action 100+ organisation is driving down worldwide greenhouse gas emissions by getting the world’s largest polluters (direct and indirect) to reduce their emissions. Who is Climate Action 100+ They are a worldwide group of 130 banks, pension funds and other investors who control assets of around 47…
How Wind Turbines Fake Rain
Background Wind turbines interfere with radar systems. The worst affected radar are those used by civil and military authorities for air traffic control and air defence. Weather services, however, can also be affected by wind turbines when their radar detect and display returns from wind turbines. How Meteorological radar works…
Breezing to A New Wind Power Mix Record
Introduction According to the National Electricity System Operator (ESO), wind power provided its highest ever share of the UK power mix during the early hours of Saturday 22nd August. Thanks to Storm Ellen and wind speeds of up to 79 mph, wind power generated just under 60% of the power…
Exploring Instrument Flight Procedures (IFPs)
What is an Instrument Flight Procedure? An Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) is a set of instructions regarding navigation around aerodromes. There are two basic types, one using precision instruments and one using non precision instruments. The advantages of these over visual procedures are that approaches and departures can be regulated…
