PPT-Wind Plants & Radar Interactions: Understanding Impacts & Mitigation Strategies

Wind Plants amp Radar Interactions Understanding Impacts amp Mitigation Strategies Wind energy is one of the fastestgrowing sources of new electricity supply in the United States As wind development continues to increase and projects are constructed in areas that were previously undeveloped wind turbines have the potential to create interference with our nations radar systems.
