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…

Energy-efficiency refurbishment and species conservation
In order not to exacerbate the "housing shortage" for birds and bats during building refurbishment, environmental and species protection must be linked together and jointly promoted. This three-year…

Favorable Conservation Status (FCS) Programmes for wind energy-sensitive birds
The project aims to present suitable FCS measures and provide concrete advice for implementation in practice. This is in line with the nationwide principle of nature-friendly expansion of renewable…

Floating PV – An investigation concept for the 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…

Future 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…

Innovation 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…

Monitoring 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…

MultiplEE
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…
