1 WIND FARMS IMPACT ON TELECOMMUNICATION SERVICES University of the Basque Country (UPV/EHU) October 2014

2 Approaching the problem What is the problem? What can be done? Radar Radiolinks Television broadcasting

3 What is the problem? Wind turbines, due to their large dimensions and continuous movement, cause some effects on the electromagnetic signals Several telecommunication services can be affected by wind farms Weather radar Air Traffic Control radar Air Navigation Systems (VOR, ILS) Radiolinks Television broadcasting Once the wind farm is installed, corrective measures are usually technically complex and/or cost prohibitive

4 What can be done? Analysis of the potential impact of a wind farm on the telecommunications services prior to installation might make the permitting process easier allows the planning of alternative solutions to assure the coexistence of wind turbines and telecommunication facilities prevents public opposition to wind energy development

5 Approaching the problem What is the problem? What can be done? Radar Radiolinks Television broadcasting

6 The precise impact on a specific service can be only determined on a case-by-case basis including several models and algorithms to estimate the impact considering altimetry data taking into account the particularities of the case under study And according to the corresponding international recommendations and/or regulatory bodies International Telecommunications Union (ITU-R) World Meteorological Organization (WMO) EUMETNET National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol) Broadcasting Weather radar ATC radar

7 Tasks related to the impact studies 1. Analysis and calculations of the potential impact of a certain wind farm on the surrounding telecommunication services 2. Coordination tasks between public administrations, broadcasters, weather radar agencies and wind farm developers. 3. Technical reports for supporting potential claims to the wind farm project 4. Presentations of the results of the impact studies to administrations

8 Tasks related to the impact studies 1. Analysis and calculations of the potential impact of a certain wind farm on the surrounding telecommunication services Two different approaches: Estimation of the potential impact of a certain wind farm layout on the surrounding telecommunication services RESULTS - Identification of the interfering turbines - Identification of possible mitigation options: - Relocate a wind turbine - Reduce the wind turbine size -

9 Tasks related to the impact studies 1. Analysis and calculations of the potential impact of a certain wind farm on the surrounding telecommunication services Two different approaches: Estimation of the potential impact of a certain wind farm layout on the surrounding telecommunication services on a certain area before the wind farm layout is defined RESULTS - Set of masks that delimit the areas that should be avoided in the wind farm deployment

10 Tasks related to the impact studies 1. Analysis and calculations of the potential impact of a certain wind farm on the surrounding telecommunication services 2. Coordination tasks between public administrations, broadcasters, weather radar agencies and wind farm developers. 3. Technical reports for supporting potential claims to the wind farm project 4. Presentations of the results of the impact studies to administrations

11 Tasks related to the impact studies 1. Analysis and calculations of the potential impact of a certain wind farm on the surrounding telecommunication services 2.

13 Approaching the problem What is the problem? What can be done? How is the Potential Impact of a Wind Farm Evaluated? Radar Radiolinks Television broadcasting

14 Impact on radar (Weather, Air Traffic Control and Defense radars) Every elevation angle of the radar beam analyzed

15 Impact on radar (Weather, Air Traffic Control and Defense radars)

16 Impact on radar (Weather, Air Traffic Control and Defense radars) Clutter: Power reflected by the wind turbines towards the radar The clutter may generate target loss and false targets The impact study estimates if the radar receives clutter from wind turbines Radar

17 Impact on radar (Weather, Air Traffic Control and Defense radars) Doppler Effect: Blade rotation is detected by Doppler radars Detection is degraded The impact study estimates if beam impinge on the rotating blades

18 Impact on radar (Weather, Air Traffic Control and Defense radars) Beam obstruction: Radar beam is obstructed by one or more wind turbines This may cause information loss behind the wind farm The impact study estimates the shadow volume behind each turbine

19 Impact on radio links Does the volume occupied by rotating blades, considering every rotor orientation, obstruct the radio link?

20 Impact on television broadcasting The potentially interfered coverage area and the level of interference due to each wind turbine are estimated considering: Interference criteria Scattering models Propagation models

21 Approaching the problem What is the problem? What can be done? Radar Radiolinks Television broadcasting
