Abstract
This paper presents a methodology to analyze the interference of maritime traffic control radar by wind turbines installed in the sea, and the interference result of the maritime traffic control radars by a small number of wind turbines installed in sea near Gunsan port (Gunsan vessel traffic services). A ray based electromagnetic analysis software is used to analyze the interference. The geographic information system map containing altitude data, drawing of wind turbines, and sea with waves are imported to the software to analyze the effect of the terrain and the wind turbines. According to the analysis, a small number of wind turbines, not large scale wind farms, has no severe impact on the operation of the radar.
