Wind Turbine Generator Impacts to Marine Vessel Radar

Completed

The potential interference of wind turbine generators (WTGs) with the performance of ship-based radar systems raises concerns for safe marine navigation near or around offshore wind farms. An ad hoc committee of the National Academies will produce a report outlining the impacts of offshore WTGs on marine vessel radar and highlighting techniques that may be implemented to mitigate those impacts. The findings of this committee will inform evaluations of offshore wind project risks to marine vessel navigation by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM).
