Guidelines on How to Assess the Potential Impact of Wind Turbines on Surveillance Sensors

Miscellaneous:

Abstract

This document provides guidelines for Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSP), and also wind energy developers, on how to assess whether or not wind turbines could impact upon the provision of surveillance services currently provided and identifies some possible means of mitigation. This document aims at maintaining the necessary levels of safety and efficiency of surveillance related Air Traffic Services whilst supporting to the maximum extent possible the development of wind energy. The proposed process defines different geographical zones, based on simple criteria, for each type of sensors (radar only for the time being). For each of these zones different conditions are defined to ensure that the impact of the wind turbine is tolerable. In the 'safeguarding' zone, the closest area to the sensor, wind turbines are not allowed to be built. In the second zone, wind turbines can be built provided that a specific impact assessment analysis demonstrates that the impact can be tolerated. In the third zone, wind turbine can be built on the basis of the results of a simple and generic impact assessment analysis that is further described in this document. In the last zone, the impact is acceptable or even non-existent.
