Assessment of mortality in wild animals connected with human projects and impacts
The Index of Sensitivity to Mortality MGI is a tool for assessing the mortality of wild animals in the context of projects and activities.
MoreBird collisions with wind turbines at wooded sites
In the project, visualisation tools are developed to support public participation processes for new wind energy projects.
MoreBIRDMOVE – Bird migration and offshore wind
The aim of the project is to study the potential effects of offshore wind turbines on migratory birds and passage migrants.
MoreBirds and wind energy use
Appropriately addressing the requirements of nature conservation at all planning levels is of great importance for any renewable energy expansion project. To this end, the project analyses selected…
MoreCapercaillie and wind energy
A planning basis published by the FVA in 2019 to better consider the capercaillie when planning wind turbines in the Black Forest.
MoreEffectiveness of bird flight diverters
Bird flight diverters are used throughout the world to reduce collisions by birds at overhead power lines and the additional mortality associated with this. Their effectiveness is determined by…
MoreEKNA – 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…
MoreFederal sectoral planning: nature and environmental conservation for the expansion of the transmission grid
Despite the initial publications by the Federal Network Agency and transmission grid operators, in practice there are still unresolved questions about the methodology of federal sectoral planning in…
MoreFish mortality at hydropower plants
In order to be able to evaluate the threat to different fish species from hydropower objectively, this project will apply the method of the mortality risk index to fish for the first time. Based on…
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…
