Further Advancements To Our Glint and Glare Model
What are the latest improvements to our Glint and Glare model? Pager Power has been working on two improvements to the latest iteration of our bespoke glint and glare model used in all geometric glint and glare assessments. The model now incorporates these two significant improvements: Inclusion of the Sun…
Could impacts on solar energy systems stop buildings going higher? Possibly.
Rules have been approved in Washington D.C. that prevent developers from building extensions if they cast shadows on existing solar energy systems. Washington D.C. New Rule and “Pop-Ups” Washington D.C.’s city zoning commission voted to approve new legislation that would put a stop to building extensions to the “upper or…

Obstacle Limitation Surfaces
What Are Obstacle Limitation Surfaces? The UK has 129 licensed civil aerodromes (and even more unlicensed aerodromes). In order to protect aircraft against potential collision risk, it is necessary to implement rules regarding tall structures surrounding aerodromes. In the UK, this is done via ‘Obstacle Limitation Surfaces’, which are imaginary…
How it works – Thruput
Thruput provide three different hardware options for getting rid of the effects of wind turbines on radar: An add-on for analogue radar such as the Watchman – MIDAS II Analogue Clutter Mitigation System (ACMS) An add-on for digital radar such as Thales STAR 2000 – RADIX Digital Clutter Mitigation System…
Real life examples of glint and glare issues – dwellings
Assessing glint and glare for ground level receptors including roads users and residents is almost always required for new solar developments within the UK that require planning permission. With respect to local residents specifically, we are often asked whether glint and glare can produce a significant detrimental impact upon residential…
Floating Wind Turbines: Potential for Further Growth?
Floating wind turbines appear to be a technology capable of further developing offshore wind by unlocking deep water areas that are currently not viable. During All Energy 2015 conference last May in Glasgow a session titled ‘Floating Turbines’ was held where various floating turbine technologies and their potential for the…
