180 million euro of investment or 150MW of wind energy for Northern Greece
A significant investment for Wind in Greece Greece’s PPC Renewables has recently announced that is planning to develop 150MW of wind energy in the area of Rodopi, in Northern Greece. This represents an investment proposal of 180 million euro (approximately $243 million). PPC (Public Power Corporation) is Greece’s biggest electricity…
37 MW solar farm proposed at East Hampton Airport, New York
With the worldwide growth of solar photovoltaics continuing, proposing the development of a large-scale solar farm is not an unusual occurrence. However, when the chosen location is on an operational airfield, questions are always raised regarding the possible safety implications due to the presence of the reflective solar panels. East…
Public exhibitions completed for combined wind and solar farm near Stretton, UK.
Three public exhibitions have been held by RES to give individuals the chance to look over the new proposal for the combined wind and solar farm to be located on the site of former Woolfox airfield in Rutland. Last month we wrote about how shading from wind turbines can affect…
Electrical compatibility: solar farms and wireless transmissions
Most of us will have experienced the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) at some point in our day to day lives. The clicking sound heard from speakers when receiving a text message is one common example, however, there are many more. Solar farms could produce EMI and the potential effects…
Are astronomers blinded by turbines?
Radio telescopes detect weak radio signals from outer space. They typically consist of arrays of directional antennae with radio receiving equipment, processing equipment and powerful computers. The strength, direction and frequency of radio signals from outer space provide information about distant stars and galaxies. This information is used by astronomers…
Military vs Civil safeguarding rules for wind turbines
I am planning to build a wind farm in the UK. I am aware that wind turbines can affect civil and military airports, radar and radio systems. How can I be sure that my wind farm will not affect military and civil airports, radar and radio systems? Are there standard…
Determining UK wind turbine aeronautical lighting requirements
Announcement of the successful Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) trial of the Radar-Activated Obstruction Lighting System by Laufer Wind recently, brings wind turbine lighting and aeronautical safeguarding to the forefront of our minds. But how can you determine what lighting requirements a turbine might need, if any? The requirement for aeronautical…
Global solar capacity set to double: who will PV reflections affect?
Solar panels absorb light really well, but they can also reflect it. These PV reflections, commonly causing Glint and Glare effects, can cause nuisance and safety concerns to a number of receptors including residents, office workers, road users, aviators and railway networks. With strong global growth forecasts for solar developments…
