Agrivoltaics and nature conservation
Agrivoltaics – ground-mounted photovoltaics – play a key role in the expansion of renewable energies. In addition to the prevailing low-mounted solar farms, whose acreages are withdrawn from…
MoreChanges of use in Natura 2000 sites
To what extent is the network of Natura 2000 protected sites affected by the expansion of renewable energies? The project will examine this question by selecting methods and remote sensing data and…
MoreEEMonReport
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…
MoreEffectiveness 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…
MoreEnvironmentally compatible site allocation of open-space solar plants (solar thermal and photovoltaic)
The research project is intended to contribute to making the necessary expansion of solar energy as environmentally compatible as possible. For this purpose, a suitable area will be defined and the…
MoreFloating PV I – nature conservation impacts
PV systems on artificial and heavily modified water bodies also serve to implement the EEG (§ 36 WHG). The first systems have gone into operation on artificial stillwaters, although the nature…
MoreFloating PV II - Investigation nature conservation effects still waters
The research projects focuses on the ecological effects of floating photovoltaic systems (FPV systems) on artificial or heavily modified bodies of water. The aim is to assess the effects on species,…
MoreFuture solar farms: technologies, impacts, spatial planning options
Solar farms are playing an increasingly important role in the energy transition. In addition, new forms of photovoltaics are emerging - such as the combination of agriculture and photovoltaics…
MoreMultiplEE
The MultiplEE research examines how the regulatory framework in Germany can be designed in such a way that the expansion of renewable energies is as environmentally compatible as possible – taking…
Morenature compensation measures and electricity grid expansion
The transformation of the German energy supply system towards renewable energies requires extensive power grid expansion. In order to meet the requirements of nature conservation impact regulations,…
