Abstract
As wind energy develops quickly, more commercial-scale wind turbines with high tower and large rotor diameter are emerging. These large man-made structures present interference to nearby radars in the form of radar clutter. This newly recognized type of clutter has unique radar signatures, making it difficult to be identified and mitigated. Based on analysing the characteristics of radar signatures, this paper suggests several wind turbine siting considerations solely from the perspective of radar clutter mitigation.
