Wind Farm developers in South Africa are receiving objections because of concerns that vibrations from their wind turbines will interfere with shale gas exploration. Additionally wind farm developers have been concerned about the effects the fracking process could have on their operational wind turbines. Wind turbines in the United States…
What is the concern? The concerns relate specifically to the possibility of solar reflections from a solar farm (in the form of Glint and Glare) potentially creating a safety hazard to drivers on surrounding roads. Whilst the magnitude of these reflections are comparable to water and glass, many of which are…
Bournemouth Airport removed their objection to a proposed solar farm after glint and glare analysis showed that the solar panels would not produce glare that would significantly affect pilots of approaching aircraft. The solar farm, called Woodtown Farm, will be located approximately 1.3km from the threshold of runway 08 at…
Ten years ago a planning application was submitted for a wind turbine in the vicinity of a Civil Airport in England. The Airport did not object to the proposed wind turbine. The wind turbine was consented, built and is now operational. The Airport is equipped with an Air Traffic Control (ATC) Primary Surveillance…
Wind Turbines cause turbulence which can affect small aircraft that fly through it. Pager Power has undertaken a number of wind turbine wake turbulence assessments and has managed flight trials using small aircraft in the vicinity of wind developments. Wind Turbine Turbulence Study In collaboration with the UK Civil Aviation…
What Is Shadow Flicker? Shadow flicker is the effect of rotating turbine blades causing brightness levels to vary periodically at locations where they obstruct the Sun’s rays. This can be a cause of annoyance at residences near wind developments. The figure below shows a photograph of a wind turbine blade…
The current operational capacity of solar photovoltaic (PV) developments in the UK is just over 9,000 MW . Solar developments can be of concern to aviation stakeholders due to the potential for dazzle or ‘glint and…
Wind Turbines interfere with airport and military radar systems which results in wind farms failing to receive planning permission because of their potential effects on radar. Because of this various UK and overseas organisations are working on technical fixes to remove or limit the effects on radar systems. Wind Turbine…
