Reliable height calculations for wind turbine radar interference decision making
Many of you will appreciate that accurately calculating height data when performing wind turbine – radar interference analysis is important. There are many methods to choose from, but at Pager Power we selected to use a Weighted Average algorithm in our assessments. And we’d like to share with you why.…
What if there was no wind turbine radar interference?
The problem of wind farms interfering with radar has hindered tens of GWs of wind energy around the world. Developers, turbine manufacturers, aviation stakeholders, radar and technology providers have spent the last 10 years searching for a solution… But what if one was to be found and the problem solved.…
Cumulative impact of solar photovoltaic developments
Whilst the impact of Solar Photovoltaic (PV) developments to their surrounding environment might be small or negligible, the combined or cumulative effects of multiple developments may have a greater impact. Solar PV developments can affect their surrounding environment and hence a number of environmental impacts are required to be assessed…
TPS-77: Mitigating the effects of wind turbines on Air Defence Radar
Across the globe tens of GWs of wind turbine development have been hindered by stringent radar safeguarding criteria. Especially long range Air Defence Radar are often the source of sustained objections from Military Authorities. A technical mitigation option that has resulted in the removal of Air Defence Radar objections is…
The importance of correct methodology when modelling solar glare impact
A large photovoltaic array, planned in the UK, has been advised on how to proceed by an airport, after the methodology used to conduct a Solar Glare Hazard Assessment was incorrect. The 60 acre solar development proposed on land at Flanchford Farm in Surrey. As considered best practice, the applicants…
Assessing radar mitigation options for wind farm developers
Radar systems are used for many purposes, one of which is to detect and display aircraft. The radar picture is a result of the radio signals transmitted by the spinning radar antenna. Aircraft positions are determined from the direction of the antenna and the time taken for radio signals to…
Visual impact of solar developments
The UK operates more than 1,700 MW with even more capacity awaiting or under construction . One of the hurdles that a solar developer must overcome to gain planning permission is the issue of visual impact. Like many planning applications across all sorts of areas, UK solar farms often need a Landscape…
The proposed Aspire Tower deemed to be an aviation hazard
The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (ACASA) has warned that the Aspire Tower will be a hazard to flight activity. ACASA told Parramatta City Council that the proposed 306m (90 storey) residential tower will impact on aviation safety. The Proposal The Aspire Tower is to be located in the Sydney…
