Abstract :
To meet the clean energy challenges, the wind farms creation is one of the most promising alternatives. The wind project developer must verify whether there would be a risk on the existing broadcast links in the area before moving towards the construction phase. Geometrical wind turbine modeling can help in determining the scattering of the signal around and assess whether the signal reception in the vicinity will be affected. From ITU Recommendation 69-1/6, we establish a clear propagation methodology to determine the dynamic scattering from the rotor blades and the static scattering from the large pylon.
