Floating Radar for Offshore Wind Farms

A new solution has emerged for protecting birds and bats at offshore wind farms: a floating radar system. This innovative technology aims to mitigate the impact of wind turbines on avian and bat populations while promoting the expansion of offshore renewable energy.

The floating radar, developed by researchers, is designed to detect birds and bats approaching offshore wind farms. By providing early warning signals, the radar enables wind farm operators to implement measures to minimise the risk of bird and bat collisions with turbine blades.

The deployment of floating radar represents a significant advancement in environmental protection within the offshore wind industry. By proactively monitoring avian and bat movements, the radar system helps mitigate potential ecological impacts and ensures compliance with regulatory requirements.

The use of radar technology underscores the industry's commitment to responsible and sustainable wind energy development. By integrating innovative solutions like floating radar, offshore wind farms can coexist harmoniously with surrounding ecosystems, minimising negative impacts on wildlife.

Moreover, the adoption of floating radar aligns with broader efforts to enhance biodiversity conservation and promote environmentally friendly energy production. By prioritising wildlife protection, offshore wind developers can foster public support for renewable energy projects and contribute to the transition to a cleaner and greener energy future.

Overall, the introduction of floating radar for offshore wind farms represents a significant step forward in balancing renewable energy development with wildlife conservation. This innovative solution demonstrates the industry's dedication to environmental stewardship and underscores its commitment to sustainable energy generation.

HMRTC to Extend Metro from Gurugram to Jhajjar

The Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) is progressing with plans to extend the Gurugram Metro from Basai to Bhadsa in Jhajjar, with the ridership survey expected to be completed by the end of January, according to HMRTC officials. In March, the authority had requested Railway India Technical and Engineering Services (RITES) to conduct a ridership survey, which will play a crucial role in finalising the project. The proposed route, covering 23.1 km from Basai to Bhadsa, will alleviate heavy traffic on this stretch. The ridership survey will determine whether the extension should p..
