The implementation of wind farms establishment in France is increasing. When wind farms are located close to radionavigation systems, it becomes important to evaluate their electromagnetic effects on existing radionavigation instalations. In this study, the radionavigation system is a VOR (VHF omnidirectional radio) operating at about 110 MHz. Because rotor blades are made of a balsa and dielectric multilayers composition, their electromagnetic behavior differs from that of metal blades at VHF frequences. In this study, we first obtain an electromagnetic CAD model…
