Is it safe to be under a wind turbine at a communication base station

Which telecommunication services are more sensitive to wind turbines?

The telecommunication services included in this review are those that have demonstrated to be more sensitive to nearby wind turbines: weather, air traffic control and marine radars, radio navigation systems, terrestrial television and fixed radio links.

Do people living near wind energy projects have concerns about wind turbines?

People living near wind energy projects may also express concerns about wind turbines emitting radiation or electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure from wind turbines.

Can wind energy be used to power mobile phone base stations?

Worldwide thousands of base stations provide relaying mobile phone signals. Every off-grid base station has a diesel generator up to 4 kW to provide electricity for the electronic equipment involved. The presentation will give attention to the requirements on using windenergy as an energy source for powering mobile phone base stations.

Do wind turbines interfere with radiocommunication services?

Operating wind turbines have the potential to interfere with radiocommunication services (i.e., cause electromagnetic interference) to communication signals such as television broadcast signals and fixed point-to-point signals. This can be due to the wind turbines causing:

Are wind turbines safe?

Although this type of failure was a concern in the early years of the wind energy industry, modern wind energy farms are reliable, safe, state-of-the-art power plants with well-tested technologies that meet approved standards and hundreds of thousands of hours of operating experience. Can Wind Turbines Break in High Winds, Like Tornadoes?

Will wind turbines affect CB radio?

Unlikely that the wind turbines would impact CB radio signals passing through the project site. Interference to mobile signals is unlikely where there is existing good mobile phone network coverage. However, in marginal coverage areas there is the potential for interference. Unlikely to cause interference to CB radio.
