electromagnetic compliance analysis of wind turbines with aeronautical navigation systems

development of standards with scaled measurements and tests with 1:1 flights for validation

This research project intends to create an objective, scientifically based and litigable decision basis for compliance analysis between the VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR) and wind turbines as static and dynamic scattering objects. This provides an up-to-now non-existing basis for plan-approval procedures of wind farms. Currently, 1800 MW of potential installed wind power is blocked due to concerns of compliances. The project at hand comprises measurements in a miniaturized environment, which allows necessary investigations with sufficient accuracy and flexible variations of input parameters. In particular, input parameters describing states of wind farms, e.g. rotation speed, wind direction, synchronicity, terrain topology can be considered to have crucial influence. The particular ability of predicting compliance between wind turbines and the VOR with the means of scaled measurements will be validated with special significant scenarios, e.g. worst case scenarios.

development and validation of an airport environment that is electromagnetically scaled:

increase safety and capacity of airports -project „Sk-ILS“

In this reserach project, funded by the german ministry of education and reserach, a mini-airport (size about 30m x 6m) is validated to investigate multipath propagation issues for navigation systems, especially the instrument landing system. This scaled airport environment offers high flexibility and availability and aims at an increase of safety and capacity of airports.The scaled airport environment can be adopted to arbitrary navigation systems, e.g. the VHF omni directional  radio range (VOR), probably influenced by rotating wind turbines.

More information can be found here.

 

enhancement of radar cross section for different scattering problems

(theoretical considerations and measrurements)

The classical definition of the radar cross section is further developed for the cases of moving objects, such as rotating wind turbines,.and for the case of non-ideal illumination. Beside fundamental investigations with scattering scenarios with generic objects like spheres and plates new mathematical models will be developed.

 

measurement and characterization of different environments for UWB and wireless applications

Propagation properties of wireless channels are measured inside buildings, aircraft, busses and cars. Relevant measures are derived and generalized for channel modelling. Further applications are car-to-car communication scenarios, for which the scattering properties of traffic signs are relevant, as well as different traffic situations, such as cross roads, urban or rural traffic.

 

modular construction system for arbitrary antenna patterns

Modular waveguide elements are combined to antenna arrays to synthesize arbitrary antenna patterns, linear and circular polarization. With a special element design synthesis technique full wave simulations for optimizations become obselete for pattern synthesis.
