Wind turbines are equipped with obstruction lights to be visible in the dark for air traffic. Those obstruction lights blink from dusk till dawn, no matter if an aircraft is nearby or not. This constant blinking has proven to be an obstacle in the acceptance of wind power.
To stop the unnecessary blinking and to make the night sky dark again, there is a technology called Aircraft Detection Lighting System or Aviation Detection and Obstacle Lighting System, ADLS for short.
Through ADLS, it is possible to turn off the blinking obstruction lights of wind farms. This is done by monitoring the airspace around a windfarm. The obstruction lights of the wind turbines are only activated when an aircraft is in the vicinity.
In Germany, the use of ADLS on wind turbines is required by law. Following a recent extension, the implementation deadline for operators is January 1, 2025. With this expertise, we are committed to bringing ADLS to other countries as well.
The light:guard system for Aircraft Detection Lighting System is type-tested and meets IEC and ICAO standards. We already equipped some wind farms abroad with our ADL system and would be more than happy to provide you with a customized solution.
