| The use of wind farma to generate electricity is growing increasingly due to the importance of being a renewable energy source. These installations can have over a hundred turbines of up to 120 m height each. Moreover, windmills are expected to be significantly higher in a few years, with blade tip heights reaching 200 m. This continued growing both in the number and the height of the wind farms is seriously threatening the correct performance of weather radars. In this work we will analyze the Doppler spectral content of the wind turbine clutter signal. The experiments, made with the aid of the Spanish weather radar network, had two main goals: gather data in normal operation mode and in spotlight mode. This will show the wind turbine clutter Doppler spectrum as functions of azimuth angle and time. | |
