Fish conservation – ethohydraulic studies at inclined screens
In order to be able to formulate recommendations for the design and positioning of an inclined screen at hydropower plants, ethohydraulic tests with fish at an inclined screen with a flushing channel…

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…

Floating 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,…

Ground-mounted photovoltaic and reconnecting habitats
Open areas to the right and left of roads and transport routes are being increasingly used as sites for solar parks in Germany. This project aims to research the extent to which they can still…

Habitat 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…

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…

Landscape and power grids
The conversion of our energy systems involves new requirements for power distribution. When planning the expansion of the grid it is necessary to record and evaluate the negative effects on the…

Landscape and the energy transition
The change-over to renewable energies such as the expansion of wind and ground-mounted photovoltaic systems, biogas plants and pumped storage power facilities is reflected in the landscape. By…

NatForWINSENT II – Phase 2
Nature conservation research at the southern German wind energy test site aims to develop and test avoidance measures for birds and bats at wind turbines. It is thus intended to make an important…
