Abstract

In the search for space for producing renewable energy, possible negative effects of solar parks and wind farms along inland waterways can easily be overseen. This paper provides an exploratory description of effects for navigation like blinding of helmsmen, disturbance of radio communication and exaggeration of vessel’s radar images and concludes with a chapter on mitigating measures.
