  • Course Overview

    • The emphasis on renewable (green) energy production has begun to play a significant role in our lives in the last 30 years. One of the most important sources of this renewable energy is wind energy, which uses wind turbines (WTs) for production. The massive expansion of wind turbines negatively impacts the functionality of radar systems (especially primary radar systems), especially in the deterioration of their detection capabilities or masking. At the same time, modern radar systems must enable the detection of small, slow, and low-flying targets (LSS - e.g. drones), which have become widespread in the last decade. The main effect of wind farms on radar systems is the masking or degradation of detection capabilities (especially of LSS targets) in the respective discrimination cells. However, the effect of Wind Turbine can also cause other problems, such as false detection, loss of target tracking, reduction in target detection probability, etc.

    This course is divided into two interconnected theoretical and practical parts. The main course objectives are:

    1. Description of the primary radar systems includes a block diagram, examples and typical parameters of individual radar systems, and a description of the weather radar systems as the sub-class of the primary radar systems.
    2. The summary of the present research on the problem of mitigation techniques and their solutions
    3. Description of the wind turbines, different types and parameters of wind turbines, geometry of wind turbine
    4. The geometry of one wind turbine for the primary radar system with a highlight of signal reflection between the primary radar system and wind turbine(s)
    5. The analysis of the wind turbine's influence on the primary radar system (flash, dominant spectral component, initiation angle, rotation speed of wind turbine, orientation of wind turbine to primary radar system)
    6. The development of the simulator for the computation of the reflected signals from the wind turbines
    7. The development of the measuring chain with the description of the individual components
    8. Presentation of the measurement (different places and scenarios) and their comparison with outputs from the simulator
    9. Presentation of the pure software solution principle for mitigating the main wind turbines' influence on primary radar systems based on suppression of dominant spectral components.
    Course participants will learn these topics through lectures and practical experiments in Matlab environment.
