Wind Power Services Package
A "Good Neighbor" Approach to Wind Power Project Planning


Wind energy is fast becoming an alternative and cost-effective source of electric power. Estimates place wind power production at over 7000 MW in the next five years. However, there are tens of thousands of microwave systems, land mobile, and broadcast stations currently licensed to operate in the United States. Project developers need to ensure that their wind turbines are constructed in compliance with any federal and local regulations governing interference into microwave, land mobile, and broadcast transmission systems. Identifying and addressing potential RF interference to the surrounding communities can safeguard project developers from potential legal and regulatory interference allegations and promote goodwill in the community: a good neighbor approach.

Wind turbines can present obstructions to radio transmissions in and around surrounding communities. However, designing wind turbine locations around current microwave, land mobile, or broadcast systems without causing interference can be easily accomplished with help from Comsearch.

Our Wind Power Services Package presents a seven-tiered approach to wind power project planning. Described below, our approach provides a combination of data, analysis, and site recommendations that help project developers design around existing microwave and broadcast systems, and mitigate radio frequency interference to surrounding communities.
