Floating 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,…
MoreFollow-up study probabilistics
The aim of the project is to develop – on the basis of a precursor study – an probabilistic model for the red kite which is applicable in permitting processes.
MoreHabitat modelling as a planning basis for species protection
Protection measures for bird species at risk of collision are of great importance for the environmentally compatible expansion of wind energy. By developing habitat models, the project creates an…
MoreInnovation for overhead power lines
The energy transition requires expansion of the power grid, but there is a low acceptance of power masts. This project therefore aims to develop innovative systems for masts and cables in the 380 kV…
MoreInPositiv
Climate protection and nature conservation cannot be separated: The predicted climate developments will foreseeably lead to changes in landscapes and a considerable extinction of species. Renewable…
MoreISEAD – Intelligent Sea Animal Detection
The research project aims to use AI to recognise birds and marine mammals (harbour porpoises) 50 times faster on image and video material.

Land availability for onshore wind energy
The goal is to calculate the land availabilty for the expansion of onshore wind energy.
MoreLandscape, protected areas and renewables
The research project investigates the management potential for site protection with particular emphasis on protected landscape areas. Particular attention was given to the scope for controlling the…
MoreMonitoring the operation of WT in woodland – impacts on the avifauna
In the course of the energy transition, forests – habitats for woodpeckers, owls and other species of birds – are increasingly becoming sites for wind farms. Noises, movement or obscuration can have…
