Fact Sheet: Wind Energy and Telecommunications
Wind energy systems often operate without interrupting telecommunications services, however in some cases the placement of a turbine could lead to the disruption of communications signals.
Free QuoteThe telecommunication services included in this review are those that have demonstrated to be more sensitive to nearby wind turbines: weather, air traffic control and marine radars, radio navigation systems, terrestrial television and fixed radio links.
Wind power is one of the fastest-growing technologies for renewable energy generation. Unfortunately, in the recent years some cases of degradation on certain telecommunication systems have arisen due to the presence of wind farms, and expensive and technically complex corrective measurements have been needed.
Worldwide thousands of base stations provide relaying mobile phone signals. Every off-grid base station has a diesel generator up to 4 kW to provide electricity for the electronic equipment involved. The presentation will give attention to the requirements on using windenergy as an energy source for powering mobile phone base stations.
Interference effects of a wind farm on TV services In the case a wind farm degrades the analog television quality, secondary or ghost images are observed, which are dependent on the amplitude and the relative delay between the transmitted signal and the scattered signals.
