Pager Power is starting to use a standard measure when assessing the viability of radar mitigation schemes for wind farm developments.

This measure is known as Technology Readiness Level (TRL) and ranges from TRL1 [Basic principles observed] through to TRL9 [Actual Technology system qualified through successful mission operations]. TRL is considered along with many other factors, such as cost, when comparing mitigation solutions and recommending the most appropriate.

Actual solutions considered often involve local in-fill radar from Cambridge Consultants, c-speed and others, in-fill solutions from existing radar, modifications to the affected radar or “stealth” wind turbine blades.
