Feasibility of systems for the automatical detection of agricultural operations in the vicinity of wind turbines

During agricultural operations under or around wind turbines, large birds in particular are regularly attracted to the catchment area of the turbines, even from great distances.

It is therefore often technically necessary to switch off turbines at these times. Currently, the protective measure ‘shutdown during agricultural operations’ is mostly based on contracts between WTG operators and land managers and complex, often unreliable reporting chains in order to be able to shut down the WTGs during and after relevant agricultural operations.

The project aims to create the conditions for the shutdown measure to be triggered automatically by installing a technical system. By explaining the obstacles, clarifying the requirements and presenting questions and initial recommendations for practical application, the aim is to make it easier to implement the protective measure ‘shutdown during agricultural operations’ through automated detection of agricultural machinery/operations and to contribute to improving its effectiveness and practical application.
