Overview For many years in the wind energy industry, stealth technology has been suggested as a mitigation solution to the commonly known radar problem, however successful implementation for a genuine radar planning issue has been difficult to achieve. Now EDF Energies Nouvelles, QinetiQ, and Vestas have teamed together to develop…
Introduction The Frodsham wind farm in Cheshire (UK) is one of the largest onshore wind developments in England (see Reference 1). The wind farm is located within range of the Primary Surveillance Radar at both Liverpool Airport and Hawarden Aerodrome. It has been reported that these issues have been overcome…
Introduction Developing large buildings in the UK is complicated. Space is a finite resource, securing funding isn’t easy and then there’s the matter of getting permission. Along the way, there are many potential impacts that need to be identified and addressed. Some of these are relatively obvious – for example visual…
Introduction NATS (formerly National Air Traffic Services) is the United Kingdom’s main air navigation service provider. It is a public-private partnership that, among other things, safeguards multiple radar installations throughout the UK. These radar installations include air traffic control radar at airports and long range en-route radar. Figure 1: Air…
This article has now been superseded. The first edition of the Solar PV Development Glint and Glare Guidance is now available. Please follow this link. Overview Detailed guidance pertaining to the effects of glint and glare for solar photovoltaic (PV) developments is scarce and this can often lead to uncertainty…
Introduction Building large wind farms in parts of America may become harder going forward. Congressman Chris Collins has introduced a proposed change to the Internal Revenue Code, ostensibly to protect the future of military installations. Figure 1: An offshore wind farm Concerns Recent proposals for a large wind developments along…
Overview Plans for a solar photovoltaic (PV) development at the headquarters of the audio technology company Bose were approved on December 12th 2016. The headquarters in Framingham, Massachusetts, USA, will be the home of the development with a capacity of 1.8 Megawatts. Solar Farm Development details The solar farm development…
New wind farm planning code A new planning code has come into force as of July 2016 in Queensland, Australia. The purpose of the new code is to support the growth of the wind industry. In particular, it has been compiled because most local government planning schemes do not cover…
