DeTect – Wind Turbine Lighting Control Radar
Overview The DeTect Harrier Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) enables lights to be illuminated as aircraft approach a wind farm. Lights are extinguished once the aircraft leaves the area. The DeTect system typically uses two radar and is operational at three North American sites with more in the pipeline. DeTect’s…
Common Concerns Around Solar Farms – Volume 2
Overview We looked back over all of the news articles on our website and discovered that the most popular news item we have produced to date was that titled ‘Concerns around solar farms’. Therefore, as we approach the completion of over 400 glint and glare assessments, we have gone back…
Airborne wind turbines, a potential problem for air traffic control
Background Airborne wind turbines can operate at different altitudes and they are mainly of two types: High-altitude wind power Crosswind kite power Both types fall into the wider category called Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES). AWES can “fly” like a kite and harness energy at higher altitude (circa 800m) where…

MOD Air Defence Radar Mitigation Update 2019
The Ministry of Defence has provided information to help wind farm developers determine what mitigation solutions may be appropriate for wind farms that affect its air defence radar. We interpret the MOD’s position as follows: Mitigating wind farm effects using the radar’s in-built capabilities is back on the table in…
Summer Solstice: Sun facts to brighten up your day
Overview With the Summer Solstice upon us, we thought we would shed some light on the largest object in our solar system by providing you with some interesting Sun based facts to warm your grey matter. The Sun rises and sets everyday with the predictability of a botched Brexit, and…
MOD Air Defence Radar Mitigation Update – June 2019
The MOD released an update on radar mitigation. We see this as a positive move which offers hope to both onshore and offshore wind developers. Figure 1 Greater Gabbard Offshore Wind Farm The main text of the update is reproduced below: The MOD has continued to work with wind farm…
Wind Turbines impact upon ADS-B and Multilateration
Background Wind turbines can have a negative impact upon radar activity. As shown in the figure below wind turbines can show up on radars as storms. Their interference can be categorised in three different types: emission, blocking and reflection. However, two new technologies can mitigate such issues: ADS-B and Multilateration.…
