• Airports around the world have installed roof mounted solar panels on buildings, carparks and ground mounted systems on the ground around the tarmac.
• The incentives of installing solar include o Land surrounding the airports are typically unusable due to the noise from air crafts; o Energy storage systems can assist in powering nearby suburbs when the demand is high and the network is at capacity; o Cost of installing renewable energy is decreasing, able to lower the energy bill of the airport and; o Renewable buy back scheme incentives (dependent on location).
37 Other Examples
• San Diego airport (roof mounted @ 5.5kWp) • Indianapolis International airport (ground mounted @ 2MWp) • Denver International airport (ground mounted at @ 2MWp) • Dusseldof International airport (ground mounted at @ 2MWp) • Ontario Thunder Bay airport (ground mounted @ 8.5MWp) • London Gratwick airport (ground mounted @ 50kWp) • Singapore Changi airport (roof mounted @ 250kWp) • Cochin International airport - India (roof mounted @ 1.1MWp and ground mounted @12MW) • Karratha Airport (ground mounted @ 1MWp solar farm) • Brisbane Airport (roof mounted @ 6MWp) • Adelaide Airport (roof mounted @ 1.17MWp)
38 Issues encountered
• Solar systems have successfully been implemented at dozens of airports worldwide. There have also been less successful installations where glint and glare issues arose.
• Successful implementation of solar depends on detailed planning studies, such as glint and glare potential, wildlife impacts, system performance, and safety.
• Distributed Energy Targets (DET) in remote areas determine the Technical Requirements above to connect to our network. Technical Requirements specify the minimum technical requirements for customers or companies connecting renewable energy to our low voltage network.
39 Distributed Energy Target
• One of the challenges of managing renewable energy installations is the impact of their intermittent nature on the security and reliability of the power supply. Generation management helps to overcome this challenge by controlling the electricity output of your rooftop solar.
• Horizon Power presently allows connection of a fixed total amount of customer generated Renewable Source Electricity capacity to its Electricity System. This target is known as Distributed Energy Target (DET) and varies from town to town as it is set at a level that allows Horizon Power to technically and commercially deliver safe and reliable electricity.
• The DET can be constrained by technical and commercial considerations. Further information can be found on our website: Technical Requirements

• Generation management helps keep the power system stable by controlling the electricity output of your rooftop solar – e.g. by ramping down the solar output in the event of cloud cover. The availability of generation management installations means that we can allow more renewable energy to be installed across our electricity systems.
• Where DET is being accessed, Horizon Power requires that generation management needs to be used in addition to the solar panels and inverter.
• Where DET has been consumed, a solar system can only be installed with an extended ramp rate generation management system (and at the discretion of Horizon Power).
42 Australian Airports with solar
• Adelaide (roof mounted @ 1.17MWp) • Alice Springs (roof mounted on carparks @ 235kWp) • Newman (WA) (roof mounted @ 120kWp) • Brisbane (roof mounted @ 6MWp) • Darwin (ground mounted @ 5.5MWp) • Sydney T1 (roof mounted @ 550kWp) • City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder (CKB) (roof mounted @ 120kWp)
43 Pilbara and Kimberley Region
• Karratha Airport installed a 1MW solar project for the City of Karratha. o The $7.1 million project has been supported by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), who contributed $2.3 million. The funding was granted as the project met ARENA’s objectives of working to reduce the cost and increase the use of renewable energy in Australia.
• At Karratha, Horizon Power has designed solar energy systems and partnered with Energy Matters to deliver premium solar products at competitive prices for residential customers.
• Onslow Airport installed a 50kW of ground mounted PV system.

44 L4 Tariffs
• Horizon Power anticipates that the L4 tariff structure is changing to cost reflectivity for customers who consume more than 160MWh per annum.
o This allows Horizon Power to reduce its subsidy from the State and makes the outcome more equitable for those tariffs which do not require government’s financial support.
o The cost reflective tariffs are likely to have a larger fixed component based on the customer’s peak power demand. The variable tariff will be lower than the current rate.
o The current tariff structure may not be an accurate indicator for the medium to long term electricity costs and benefits for the customer. That is, the current rate of return calculated from commercial solar investments may not necessarily reflect the future state.
45 Broome- a unique case
• Being a coastal location with several tourist attractions, Broome has numerous hotels, resorts and businesses which are classified as medium or large business customers (L4 tariff)
• Broome currently has a zero distributed energy target which places further technical requirements from the customers’ perspective in order to connect renewables to our network.
• The distributed energy target has been reached and requires further technical requirements to install solar. o A battery storage system which includes a 2 hour extended ramp rate will be required along with the solar.
46 Renewable Buy Back Schemes (REBs)
• Customers can reduce your electricity bill by generating some of your own electricity. If you do not use all the electricity you generate, you may be able to export this into our electricity system by participating in our renewable energy buyback offer.
• The REBs scheme was initially set to provide an incentive for the residents. The offer of these incentives for commercial customers will rely on Horizon Power’s discretion and negotiation with the customer.
• The Eligibility Calculator will provide the customer with the most up to date information but is not a guaranteed buyback rate for commercial customers.
Example of old REBs rates as at 1 July 2017 47 Case Study: Airport in WA • Annual kWh, annual bill now • Tariff with high variable and low fixed components (i.e. Description 2017 31 cents/kWh energy charge and 53 cents/daily fixed Consumption (kWh) 2,075,630 charge) Annul Bill Variable Charges $ 646,212 • Non-cost reflective highly subsidised tariff Fixed Charges $ 702 (approximately 21 cents per kWh of subsidy) Total Bill $ 646,915 • Tariff is not aligned to Horizon Power internal cost Ave delivered price $/kWh 0.3117 structure Approximate subsidy $ p.a. $ 453,169 • Attractive solar investment at a high level • 256kW Installed PV/ battery capital cost
Capital Investment after Gov. Rebate $ 1,943,260 • Battery Energy Storage System for solar smoothing Annualised Cost Over 20 Years $ 158,032 purposes only (due to 2 hours extended ramp rate Interest rate p.a. 5% requirement) • Ground mounted PV systems across 4 sites
48 Case Study: Airport in WA
• Then new annual kWh, annual bill • Battery Costs make it unattractive Grid Consumption (kWh) before PV 2,075,630 PV Generation (kWh) p.a. 504,576 • Negative return even before cost reflective tariff Grid Consumption (kWh) after PV 1,571,054 New Annul Bill is in place Variable Charges $ 489,121 Fixed Charges $ 702 • Cost reflective tariff will reduce your savings Total Grid Cost $ 489,823 from PV by about 65% Annualised PV and Battery Cost Over 20 Years $ 158,032 Total Annual Bill After PV $ 647,855 • Horizon Power will have no government subsidy Total Annual Bill before PV $ 646,915 and the customer will be paying close to 53 Net Saving After PV -$ 941 cents/kWh Approximate Subsidy $ p.a. $ 342,835 • Approximate saving with cost reflective tariff will be about -$343,776 • Is it a savings for customer or not?
• Depends on customer’s drivers.
49 Limitations in WA
• The battery and PV costs in the remote towns are significantly more expensive (travel, accommodation, cyclone rated installations and ground mounted systems)
• Technical Requirements regarding the distributed energy target and extended ramp rates limits the opportunity for a simple installation
• Less competition
50 What we offer and the way forward
• With respect to Broome and areas with limited DET, we will actively discuss the best outcome with our customers, with respect to the Technical Requirements. • The annual consumption is reviewed and analysis is done to investigate the renewable options (depending on the drivers such as economic, technical efficiency, innovation) • For solar connections below a specific size (for example 30 kW) this could still provide a reduction in your energy bill. • We want to keep the solar journey simple and understand the drivers for your needs.

• Investigate a statewide framework that would assist to: – protect airports from unreasonable encroachment by incompatible development; and – minimise the impact of airport operations on existing and future communities. • State level response to National Airports Safeguarding Framework (NASF) • Response to State Aviation Strategy • WAPC & Minister direction • Opportunity to bring together regulatory framework What we have learned so far
Research objectives • Understand the issues being experienced by airport operators, local governments and communities in WA. • Determine the scope of the policy, including what airports should be included and what issues should be addressed. • Understand how other jurisdictional approaches have managed similar land use conflicts and how successful they have been. • Formulate a policy approach that is appropriate to the Western Australian context. What we have learned so far
Research activities to date
• Investigation into existing land use planning mechanisms in the vicinity of airports in Western Australia.
• Investigation into other jurisdictional approaches, in Australia and internationally.
• Consideration of the NASF guidelines in the context of the Western Australian airports and aviation industry.
• Consultation with a sample of Western Australian local governments and airport operators. What we have learned so far
Key findings to date • Complex legislative framework – policy measures to complement the existing legislative framework. • Characteristics of airports in Western Australia are varied and may require different policy responses. • The most common mechanism used to control development near airports is the designation of Special Control Areas (SCAs) in local planning schemes. • The most common issues experienced are Impact of aircraft noise and Wildlife strike. What we have learned so far
Airports in WA • Reviewed 90 airports in WA and found: – Less than 10% on Commonwealth land – 40% have been identified as strategically important in either [email protected], RPIFs or State Aviation Strategy – 25% have been planned for in local planning strategies, of which approximately half have provisions in local planning schemes. Policy considerations
Determining airports for inclusion in policy • It is appropriate for a State Airports Policy to focus on airports that are deemed strategically important for the State’s economic and social development. • How do we determine which airports are strategically important? Policy considerations
Airports of strategic importance • Airports that have been identified in the State’s Aviation Strategy, Perth and Peel @ 3.5 Million and/or Regional Planning and Infrastructure Frameworks could be considered to qualify as strategically important. • Thirty-eight airports meet this criteria. Policy considerations Airports identified in strategies

Greater than 10km Over 30k Less than 10km Under 30k Draft policy objectives …to ensure appropriate land use in the vicinity of existing and future public and private airports in Western Australia, that are deemed strategically important for the State’s economic and social development. In this context, the Policy objectives are to: • protect strategically important airports from encroachment of land use/development that can negatively impact on their operational safety and efficiency; • minimise any adverse impact of airport operations on existing and future communities; and • minimise risks to the safety and wellbeing of people living and working in the vicinity of airports. Strategic airport criteria – The Queensland Model
An airport is a strategic airport for the purposes of the SPP if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Commonwealth Airport • Joint-user airport • Defence airport • Serviced by regular public transport services intended for hire or reward • Handles more than 50,000 passenger movements per annum or handles more than 10,000 aircraft movements per annum • Serviced by aircraft with a minimum take-off weight 3400 kilograms. • The airport has been deemed by the Queensland Government to be strategically important to the state for economic, tourism, social or protection reasons. Draft strategic airport criteria
An airport is a strategic airport for the purposes of the policy if it meets one or more of the following criteria: • Commonwealth Airport • Joint-user airport • Defence airport • Serviced by regular public transport services intended for hire or reward • Handles more than 30,000 passenger movements per annum or handles more than 10,000 aircraft movements per annum • The airport has been deemed by the WA Government to be strategically important in [email protected], State Aviation Strategy and/or Regional Planning and Infrastructure Frameworks Is this criteria defined enough for airports and local governments to be able to determine where policy is applicable? National Airports Safeguarding Advisory Group (NASAG) and the National Airports Safeguarding Framework National Airports Safeguarding Advisory Group (NASAG) • Multi-jurisdictional advisory group administered by the Commonwealth Department of Infrastructure, Regional Development and Cities • WA represented on NASAG by DPLH and Transport • NASAG has prepared and released a series of Guidelines which comprise the National Airports Safeguarding Framework (NASF) NASF Guidelines
A: Managing Impact of Aircraft Noise B: Risk of Building Generated Windshear and Turbulence at Airports C: Risk of Wildlife Strikes in the Vicinity of Airports D: Risk of Wind Turbine Farms as Physical Obstacles to Air Navigation E: Risk of Distractions to Pilots from Lighting in the Vicinity of Airports F: Risk of Intrusions into the Protected Airspace of Airports G: Protecting Aviation Facilities – Communications, Navigation and Surveillance H: Protecting Strategically Important Helicopter Landing Sites I (Draft): Risk in Public Safety Zones at the Ends of Runways Impact of Aircraft Noise - Restriction of rezoning POLICY CONSIDERATION: Restriction of rezoning to permit noise sensitive uses using ANEF contours • SPP 5.1 (Perth) and SPP 5.3 (Jandakot) use ANEF contours to control sensitive development • ANEF 20 – 25 contour – noise sensitive development is conditionally acceptable (noise attenuation measures recommended, notice on titles) • ANEF 25 and above, noise sensitive development not generally permitted
Is the current approach supported for wider application? What are the benefits and constraints of mandatory noise insulation? Should airports of a certain size/type be required to undertake ANEF? Impact of Aircraft Noise – Number Above (N) Contours
• N Contours are not supported as statutory control mechanisms in land use planning decisions • The policy may support the potential use of N Contours by airports as a supplementary mechanism to communicate noise impacts to affected communities.
Are there any issues regarding the use of N Contours by airports as a supplementary mechanism to communicate noise impacts to affected communities? Impact of Aircraft Noise – Airports without ANEFs • The Guideline proposes to use a zone of influence for airports without an ANEF, within 15km for an international/major domestic airport and military airports, 10km for a domestic RPT airport and 5km for other types of aerodromes.
Are there any issues with using a generic zone of influence around airports without ANEFs? Building generated windshear and turbulence For buildings within assessment trigger area, a height multiplier rule (1:35) is applied where buildings with a distance to the runway centre-line that is less than 35 times the height of the building should be subject to aerodynamic modelling (1:35 rule).
Assessment trigger area around runways, within (Top) Plan view of the 1:35 surface within the assessment trigger which buildings should be assessed area. (Bottom) Elevation view of the 1:35 surface, looking down the runway centreline. Illustrative purposes only – not to scale. Building generated windshear and turbulence • Some stakeholders consider that application of Guideline B in small and regional airports may impede important aviation related development that penetrate the 1:35 surface but do not create an unacceptable risk to aviation safety. • The Guideline provides options for the proponent to put forward risk assessment/safety case/risk mitigation measures for consideration of the approval authority/decision maker in cases where the 1:35 rule cannot be met. Are there any concerns with the use of the 1:35 rule to manage building generated windshear and turbulence? Is the safety case option a practical alternative for smaller airports? Wildlife strikes • Provides advice to help protect against wildlife hazards originating off-airport. • The risk of land uses as attractants to wildlife are identified in a table (excerpt below) and mitigation measures are proposed.
Excerpt from Guideline C showing risk assessment and mitigation approach
Are there any issues associated with the proposed method to reduce risk of wildlife strike through land use control? Wind turbine installations (wind farms) / wind monitoring towers
• Provides advice on the location and safety management of these structures. • Recommends that development proposals over 150m in height within 30km of a registered/certified airport should be referred to CASA.
Is a 30km radius around airports to trigger referral to CASA a reasonable trigger distance? Lighting distractions to pilots
• Provides advice on the risks of lighting distractions and how these can be minimised or avoided. • Proposes a 6km radius within which 4 light control zones reflect the degree of interference ground lights can cause pilot approaches.
Do you have views on the use of a 6km radius around airports to trigger referral to CASA? Intrusions into protected operational airspace • Provides advice about working within and around protected airspace and how these can be better integrated into local planning processes. • Proposes that airport operators will make charts of the OLS and PANS-OPS surfaces available to land use planning authorities, to be incorporated into the local council's planning information overlays.
Are there any concerns with the proposal for airport operators to provide OLS and PAN-OPS charts to local governments to be incorporated into local planning frameworks? Are there other mechanisms that local government could use to protect against intrusions into airspace? Protecting Aviation Facilities - CNS • Provides procedures to ensure development within Building Restricted Area (BRA) of Communciations, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) facilities do not adversely affect the facility or cause interference for air traffic controllers or aircraft in transit. • Provides guidance for assessing development proposals in a BRA, and for working with Airservices and Defence in assessing those proposals.
Are there any concerns regarding the mapping of CNS facilities in local planning overlays to trigger referrals? Public safety zones • Provides guidance on how to assess or treat the potential increases in risk to public safety which could result from an aircraft incident or development proposal in areas near the end of an airport runway. • Should a planning led policy approach (such as Qld) be adopted or a development led approach (case by case
assessment within the PSZ) Queensland Public Safety Area Are there any issues with the proposal to introduce public safety zones at the ends of runways? Are there any views on which approach is most appropriate? Policy review roadmap
