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…
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…
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…
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…
MoreNatForWINSENT I – Nature conservation at the wind test site
The wind energy test site of the wind energy research cluster South (WindForS) planned for the Swabian Jura is intended to serve supporting research for nature conservation. The main aim is to…
MoreNatForWINSENT II – Phase 1
The wind energy research cluster south (WindForS) will be commissioned in 2023 in the Swabian Jura (Germany) as the first wind energy test site in complex terrain in an inland area. The WINSENT test…
MoreNational natural landscapes and renewable energies
The project examined the question of what could constitute an ecologically sustainable energy transition in nature parks and biosphere reserves. Nature parks and biosphere reserves, as components of…
MoreNationwide landscape assessment
The aim of the project is to develop a methodological overview of the landscape and landscape character assessments at German federal level that have been developed in recent years on behalf of the…
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,…
