VTT develops solutions to reduce the effect of wind power on digital communications

Using methods developed by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, wind farms can now be designed to minimize their effects on television broadcasting and mobile communications. Methods and tools developed in a research project conducted by VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd allow an optimal location to be identified for wind turbines, where interference on television broadcasting and mobile connections is minimized. “The placement of wind turbines can have a major impact on the quality of digital connections across a wide area,” points out VTT's Principal Scientist Seppo
