Aviation Obstruction Light Configuration Plan for Wind Turbines

As wind turbines continue to advance towards greater heights and capacities, ensuring aviation safety has become an indispensable part of wind farm planning. This is especially true for wind turbines with a height exceeding 150 meters, where the scientific configuration of aviation obstruction lights is not just a matter of compliance but also concerns airspace safety and the coordination efficiency of equipment operations. This plan, based on the structural characteristics of wind turbine equipment and the performance requirements for aviation lights, proposes a practical and forward-thinking strategy for installing obstruction lights. By refining the light configuration for different height segments, adding backup mechanisms, and optimizing the visibility of lights under rotating blades, this plan not only enhances the overall safety level but also provides a replicable and feasible technical path for the wind power industry.

For heights ≤ 45m: Install low-intensity B-type or medium-intensity B-type at the top of the nacelle.

For 45m ＜ H ≤ 105m: Install B-type medium-intensity lights at the top of the nacelle.

For 105m ＜ H ≤ 150m: Install A-type medium-intensity lights at the top of the nacelle.

For heights ≥ 150m: Install A-type high-intensity lights at the top of the nacelle, and E-type low-intensity lights at 1/2H height.
