Overview Another proposed wind farm in the UK has been hit with a planning setback due to radar issues. The wind turbine radar issue has been a significant problem for many wind developers in the UK for many years now. Many proposed wind developments do not get planning permission because…
Australia Develops Panels at Darwin Airport Darwin International Airport is enjoying the electricity from its 4 MW PV development. The renewable solution is predicted to provide all of the airport’s peak electricity demand during the day and a quarter of its total energy requirement. Other Cases Darwin International Airport is…
Overview The proposed offshore wind development named Aberdeen Bay Wind Farm has been given the go ahead, with Vatenfall now set to commit £300 million to the scheme. Donald Trump has long challenged the proposed wind farm due to its location off the coast of a Trump owned golf resort.…
Overview Two solar farms in the Republic of Ireland have been refused planning permission for a number of reasons including the impact upon visual amenity and glint and glare. The two developments are located around Enniscorthy and Grahormick, both in County Wexford. Figure 1: Solar photovoltaic array Development details The…
Introduction The development of large scale wind and solar developments throughout the world means that new overhead transmission lines are sometimes routed near existing civil and military airbases which can result in aerodrome safeguarding objections due to collision risk or the potential impact on radio and electronic navigation aids. Pager…
Overview A proposed solar park near Anderson Municipal Airport in central Indiana, USA, has required re-location after glint and glare analysis revealed that the development could affect pilots landing at the airport. Figure 1: Anderson Municipal Airport, Indiana Solar park overview The proposed solar park was to be located east…
Update: The glint and glare assessment guidance is now available for peer consultation and can be downloaded here. Overview Pager Power has vast experience undertaking glint and glare assessments (over 230 to date) in the UK, Ireland and internationally. However, in the time taken to complete this number of assessments,…
Introduction Pager Power has undertaken over 200 assessments to determine the impact of solar reflections from Photovoltaic arrays on aircraft, trains, vehicles, air traffic controllers, animals and homes. The technical team has recently updated its advanced in-house software and other processes to enable the prediction and assessment of glint and glare…
LATEST TWEETS
This month in our Back to Basics series, we uncover the ways in which energy generated by wind and solar farms can be stored and how this technology will shape the future of our energy systems. Learn more: https://www.pagerpower.com/news/back-to-basics-part-4-energy-storage/
#energystorage
We examine the possibility of harnessing the massive energy output from stars rather than capturing a fraction of the sunlight that reaches Earth. Learn more: https://www.pagerpower.com/news/cosmic-megastructures-dyson-sphere-and-future-of-solar-energy/
