Assessment of the impact of new generation wind turbines on birds and bats
The technical development in the wind power industry is constantly advancing with an increasing number of new turbine types. Therefore, the conflict potential for nature conservation must also be…

Bats and wind energy - significance threshold, tower microphone
The "significance threshold" in many regional guidelines (Länderleitfaden) specifies how many dead bats per wind turbine (WT) and year are tolerable. So far, the threshold has been based in most…

Bats and wind energy in woodland I
The project's objective is to collate and evaluate existing data to identify and limit the effects of WT on bats in woodland and to remedy any relevant gaps in knowledge by examining case studies.…

Bats and wind energy in woodland II
The object of this research project is to establish whether and to what extent wind turbines at forest sites have a negative effect on bats, disturb them or even threaten them to a significant…

Bats and wind energy in woodland III
The continued environmentally compatible expansion of renewable energies is progressing. Sites in woodland, for example, are being increasingly developed for wind energy. There is still a need for…

Bird collisions with wind turbines at wooded sites
In the project, visualisation tools are developed to support public participation processes for new wind energy projects.

EEMonReport
A web-based reporting format was developed which is able to inform about the progress made in a nature conservation-compatible expansion of renewable energies in the German electricity sector and…

Effectiveness of mitigation measures
There is a wide range of current measures used to minimise the adverse effects of wind turbines on birds. These include regulating the operation of the turbine, preventing birds being attracted to it…

EKNA – Environmental impacts of underground cables and options for an environmentally-compatible transmission route design
Underground cables as an alternative to overhead transmission lines are increasingly under discussion. The project examines the effects of different extra-high voltage underground cable systems on…
