Wind turbines interfere with airport and military radar systems so various companies are trying to fix the problem. There are at least 50 mitigation solutions that have reared their head at some point in the past ten years. Mitigation The most common forms of mitigation which are considered are: Radar…
Since writing this article we’ve created an updated version. Click here to read volume 2 for 2019. Solar energy projects form part of the renewable energy landscape in numerous countries around the world. Solar developments are operational and/or on the agenda in Europe, China, Australia, the USA and South America.…
Were you at home on Sunday 7th December 2014? If so, there may have been an increased chance that the electricity you were using was produced by wind turbines. On that day, a new Great British wind generation record was set. On that Sunday, Official National Grid Figures indicated that…
A proposed 1.5MW wind turbine at Middlesbrough Riverside Football Stadium (pictured below) has hit a stumbling block after previously receiving planning permission from Middlesbrough County Council in 2008. Concerns were previously raised by Durham Tees Valley Airport (DTVA) over the possible impact upon the primary surveillance radar (PSR) and its…
When submitting a planning application for a wind development many unexpected issues can arise. One common concern can be the effect of shadow flicker upon receptors (normally dwellings) within the immediate vicinity of the development. Shadow flicker, is the flickering effect of the rotating blades as they pass between the…
According to the Northamptonshire Telegraph, disused Desborough Airfield, formerly an RAF Airbase during WW2, is the proposed location of a solar farm south of Wilbarston in Northamptonshire. The solar farm will occupy land covering approximately 80 football pitches (or 112 hectares) and will have an install capacity of 49MW. The…
Solar power in Brazil has been boosted by the announcement of 31 solar parks to be built in the country. The installed capacity is expected generated by solar power in Brazil. Price per Megawatt The contracts for…
Proposals for three single wind turbine developments on local farms near Oswaldtwistle, in Lancashire, have been refused by planners due to objections from the Ministry of Defence (MOD). Concerns over the potential impact on the surveillance radar at Warton Aerodrome – which is operated by BAE Systems safeguarded by the…
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/
