Radar Mitigation for Frodsham Wind Farm
Introduction The Frodsham wind farm in Cheshire (UK) is one of the largest onshore wind developments in England (see Reference 1). The wind farm is located within range of the Primary Surveillance Radar at both Liverpool Airport and Hawarden Aerodrome. It has been reported that these issues have been overcome…
Checklist for Tall Building Proposals
Introduction Developing large buildings in the UK is complicated. Space is a finite resource, securing funding isn’t easy and then there’s the matter of getting permission. Along the way, there are many potential impacts that need to be identified and addressed. Some of these are relatively obvious – for example visual…
What to do after receiving a NATS TOPA

New Rules for Queensland Wind Farms
New wind farm planning code A new planning code has come into force as of July 2016 in Queensland, Australia. The purpose of the new code is to support the growth of the wind industry. In particular, it has been compiled because most local government planning schemes do not cover…
Mitigating the effects of wind turbines on radar interference with Controlled Shutdowns
Background Wind turbines affect aeronautical radar which means that airport and defence authorities often oppose wind farm developments resulting in wind development being prevented. Pager Power has been helping wind farm developers manage and resolve these issues throughout the world since 2002. Figure 1: Wind Farm Mitigation Radar mitigation reduces or…
