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…
MoreLandscape 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…
MoreLandscape 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…
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…
MoreNatForWINSENT 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…
MoreNatForWINSENT – 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…
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…
MorePlanning evaluation of ecosystems
Ecosystem services are identified in order to demonstrate the specific services and therefore the value of ecosystems. Up until now this concept, followed nationally and internationally since the…
MorePriority areas for species protection in wind energy planning
Methodical approaches for the designation of priority areas for species protection in wind energy planning
MoreProBat
The software tool ProBat 7.0 calculates bat-friendly cut-in wind speeds for onshore wind turbines (WT). This operational management helps to minimise the killing risk for bats (collision or…
