Goole Fields Wind Farm buys into Little John radar solution
Radar constraints pose a significant barrier to wind developments in the UK. In particular, ‘primary surveillance radar’ are common reasons for objection because wind turbines can affect them in a variety of ways. The most significant issue is the presence of ‘clutter’ on the radar operator’s screen. Clutter is the…
Storm, hurricane or wind turbines? A short review of OPERA Guidelines for weather radar & wind turbine interference
Meteorological agencies around the world use radar to detect weather phenomena. Wind turbines are large structures that due to their size and operation can interfere with the detection capabilities of weather radar (i.e. weather forecasting, precipitation measurements, extreme weather phenomena warnings, etc.).OPERA, an EUMETNET working group has previously investigated the…
2014: A record year in the completion of tall buildings
2014 was a record year in the completion of tall buildings. 97 buildings with an overall height of more than 200 metres were completed; this is the equivalent of approximately more than 60 floors. These were constructed in 54 cities from 19 countries . Hong Kong in China, New York City…
FAA restricts building heights in Miami for aviation safety
In recent news it was mentioned that the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) requested that the overall height of four building developments in the city of Miami needs to be lowered by 13% – 55% of the planned height. The height reduction is due to flying safety concerns. Tall buildings…
Swindon solar push and MOD Lyneham solar farm
Solar Panel Sound Barrier on the A419/M4 The plan to develop solar panels next to the A419 and M4 near Swindon has taken a step closer after an initial agreement was made by Swindon Council. Now only approval from the cross-political party planning committee is required for the project to…
What is Wide Area Multilateration (WAM)?
Wide Area Multilateration – usually shortened to WAM – is a surveillance system for monitoring aircraft. Presently, surveillance of aircraft is usually achieved by means of radar. Air navigation service providers are interested in deploying alternatives to radar for various economic and technical reasons. WAM is one alternative. How it…
Concentrated solar plant investment in South Africa
Concentrated Solar Plants: South Africa Update The solar energy industry in South Africa is predicted to grow over the next 10 years due, in part, to the continued investment in Solar Thermal Parks or Concentrated Solar Plants (CSP) from local and foreign investors. Back in July 2014, it was announced…
New wind development in Alabama could affect wireless communications
A number of wind developers are looking to site wind turbines on Turkey Heaven Mountain in Alabama, USA. The plans, however, have encountered controversy after opponents to the development of wind turbines claimed they might interfere with emergency communications systems on the mountain. About Turkey Heaven Mountain The mountain is…
