Abstract:
Driven by global carbon neutrality targets, the rapid expansion of the wind power industry has led to an increasing geospatial overlap between wind farms and civil aviation surveillance radar systems, posing a critical challenge to aviation safety. This paper systematically investigates the distinct interference mechanisms of wind farms—specifically Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs)—on both primary surveillance radar (PSR) and secondary surveillance radar (SSR). It synthesizes the latest regulatory standards and assessment guidelines from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), EUROCONTROL, Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), and US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Furthermore, management strategies based on geographic zoning and operational tolerances are elucidated. A comprehensive technical matrix is proposed, encompassing geographic avoidance, mitigation at the source, architectural reinforcement, and operational avoidance measures. Through multi-dimensional management and technical synergy, the surveillance quality of civil aviation radar in complex wind farm environments can be effectively enhanced, ensuring the safety of flight operations. This study serves as a technical reference for wind power R&D, wind farm siting, radar system design, and the revision of regulatory standards for civil aviation surveillance station siting.
