World's first system for demand-controlled night marking in regular operationField-tested ADLS for large-scale projectsQV LUX, based in Brandenburg, offers the supply, installation, operation and maintenance of a complete system for the ADLK of wind turbines based on the successful pilot and reference project in Groß Woltersdorf (Brandenburg). Thanks to the approval of the Higher Aviation Authority Berlin-Brandenburg, we are now in a position to equip further large-scale projects with SCANTER 5XXX," says QV LUX Managing Director Peter-Heinrich Boysen. Tests were carried out under real conditions at the Krampfer wind farm with six wind turbines so far.
Milestone for more acceptanceWith the radar-based BNK system, entire regions can now be freed from continuous flashing at night. The approved area in northern Brandenburg alone covers a radius of 12 kilometers around the radar site and is currently being expanded to 18 kilometers. More than 100 wind turbines in the surrounding area could then be connected. Boysen commented: "This is a milestone towards greater acceptance of wind energy."
Here's how it worksThe BNK system detects flying objects in the detection range (24 km) up to an altitude of 3,000 meters with flight direction and speed. If a detected flying object penetrates the effective area (18 km), the luminaires can be switched on via the Internet for night identification of all connected wind farms. If the flying object leaves the switch-on range (7 km), the signal lights go out again.
The radar system used by QV LUX offers automatic signal tracking of flying objects, information transmission via the Internet and the integration of new and existing wind turbines individually or in groups. The facility for the BNK of aviation obstacles subject to marking is mandatory from 1 July 2020 (§ 9 para. 8 EEG 2017 new) "
