This operational management helps to minimise the killing risk for bats and allows for a more efficient operation of the turbines compared to blanket switch-on or switch-off specifications. The ProBat software also reduces the planning effort and can be used independently by experts and licensing authorities. Version 7 is available as a ProBat online app and is equipped with new and improved applications. Additional visualisations and extended reports improve the functionality. A new online application "ProBat Inspector" also simplifies the verification of compliance with mandated shutdown requirements.

Bat protection: BfN "In PRACTICE" on the current version of ProBat 7 published
How can the expansion in renewable energies be designed in harmony with nature? The Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) is providing expert scientific advice on this question to the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (Bundesumweltministerium, BMUB). Research by the BfN always has a practical application and generates scientific results for advising government i.e. supplies a basis for decision-making for the preparation, implementation, monitoring and further development of nature conservation measures and the Federal Government's nature conservation policy.
