5 ACRP Report 108: Guidebook for Facilities Compatibility with Airports and Airspace Published April 2014 Describes recent trends in energy technology development and the technological and social drivers Documents energy technologies and potential affects on the National Airspace System (NAS) Presents new data on glare produced by commercially available solar panels Presents results from a survey of pilots who regularly operate out of airports where solar projects operate Reports on Department of research to minimize impacts of wind farms on aviation radar Presents siting and design guidance to avoid and minimize future impacts on the NAS
6 Technologies and Impacts
7 Research Problem and Objective Problem: significant geographic expansion in the development of energy generation projects producing impacts on airports and airspace Objectives: produce a guidebook that communicates the most up-to-date information on potential impacts of energy technologies and provides best practices for aviation safety associated with planning, developing and constructing energy production and transmission technologies at and around airports.
8 Research Approach
9 Issue Solar Glare Airports want to deploy solar for economic and environmental reasons Potential for glare to impact controllers and pilots Investigate tools, technology, and siting
10 Results Glare Modeling Solar Glare Hazard Analysis Tool (SGHAT): using modeling to predict potential glare from proposed projects
11 Results Panel Design Reflectivity data for commercially available solar modules suggests that solar panels, even those manufactured with an anti-reflection coating, produce disability glare. However, use of a deep textured surface design may not.
12 Results Pilot Survey (383) 9 % of respondents who were aware of solar projects indicated that they had experienced glare while 74 % did not. Of the pilots who did experience glare, 4 % classified the glare as a significant nuisance, 24 % as a moderate nuisance, and 72 % as not a nuisance.
13 Issue Wind Turbine Radar Interference Wind power is the most economical way to produce large amounts of renewable energy But wind turbines are 500 feet tall and impinge on airspace
14 Results Wind/Radar Research 10 years of research impacts on airspace has been minimized but not avoided. The Interagency Field Test and Evaluation (IFT&E) Program conducted three two-week flight campaigns near NAS radar systems in high-density WTG areas in Minnesota and Texas in to identify impacts. In addition, nine private sector vendors that were selected by Sandia National Laboratories participated in the flight campaigns to test and evaluate candidate technologies. Research is ongoing.
15 Issue Meteorological Towers MET towers are typically sized below 200 foot FAA reporting height. Because they are not identified on charts and are not marked, they pose a significant safety danger to aircraft
16 Results MET Tower Awareness Fatal collision Vansycle OR Fatal collision Ralls TX Fatal collision Oakley CA NTSB Safety Alert FAA Voluntary Marking California Law NTSB Recommendation June 24, 2011 The FAA published a policy statement with its recommendation for the voluntary marking of METs. August 27, 2012 California Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation requiring towers standing 50 feet and taller to be clearly marked with bright aviation colors. The new rules will apply to towers built after January 1, 2013 and will sunset in five years. May 15, 2013 The NTSB issued a Recommendation Letter to the FAA requiring all METs adopt lighting requirements.
17 Issue Height of Gas Drill Rigs & Frack Ponds as Bird Attractants Airports can earn alternative revenue by leasing land for gas drilling Drill rigs can be more than 150 feet tall Ponds are necessary to provide water to the well
18 Results Utilize Best Practices for Gas Development Model programs at DFW and DIA provide guidance: Locate rigs away from runways Minimize establishment of permanent frack ponds Prohibit flaring Design permanent ponds with elements that discourage wildlife Regularly monitoring
19 Issue Thermal Plumes Stacks as a physical structure can be regulated under Part 77. Non-structural impacts of plumes more difficult to assess and risk is unpredictable.
20 Results Plume Modeling MITRE developed the Plume Hazard Model to predict the potential effects of thermal plumes on aircraft. The model has the ability to evaluate: MITRE developed the Plume Hazard Model to predict the potential effects of thermal plumes on aircraft plume rise and plume characteristics from an exhaust stack turbulence and aircraft response models the degree of turbulence that could be expected above the exhaust stack and its effect on different aircraft types. The MITRE report found that there was a definite risk of light aircraft experiencing severe turbulence within the target level of safety (TLS) as they fly over an exhaust plume during certain weather conditions.
21 Issue Electrical Infrastructure New generation needs to be connected to users. This creates a significant amount of new infrastructure that could physically impinge on airspace.
22 Results Electric Transmission Impacts not well documented. More research recommended.
