Repowering of wind turbines
A significant increase in the repowering of wind turbines is expected in the near future, as the period of guaranteed feed-in renumeration for many existing wind turbines will expire. From a nature…
MoreSmall wind turbines and bats
While the danger to bats from large wind turbines has now been proved, there is still uncertainty about the effects of small wind turbines (SWT). Based on a before-and-after comparison, bat behaviour…
MoreSongbird migration offshore
Every year, millions of songbirds fly over the North Sea as they migrate between their wintering and breeding grounds. However, this behaviour is still poorly understood with regard to the massive…
MoreSpecies conservation and small wind turbines
This project records baseline data on a larger scale for the first time in order to evaluate the effects of small wind turbines on birds and bats. The study also analyses the relevant determining…
MoreSuN-diverse – More biodiversity in solar farms
The expansion of solar energy, also on open land, will increase strongly in Germany in the next few years. The aim of the project is to improve the consideration of nature conservation issues in the…
MoreTRACKBIRD - Bird migration over the North Sea and Baltic Sea and offshore wind energy
The aim of the project is to study the potential effects of offshore wind turbines on migratory birds and passage migrants.
MoreWind energy ramp up and species protection laws
In view of the climate crisis, the German Federal government has set itself the goal of increasing the share of renewable energies in gross electricity consumption to at least 80 % by 2030 and to 100…
MoreWorkshop series "Bird Detection Systems"
Automatic bird detection systems have, in conjunction with the event-related operational curtailment of wind turbines, have the potential to reduce conflicts with the species protection law. The…
