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…
MoreFederal sectoral planning: nature and environmental conservation for the expansion of the transmission grid
Despite the initial publications by the Federal Network Agency and transmission grid operators, in practice there are still unresolved questions about the methodology of federal sectoral planning in…
MoreFish conservation and hydropower
This project develops a research concept for the production and evaluation of fish protection and fish bypass facilities at hydropower sites at Eddersheim/Main and Griesheim. The effectiveness of…
MoreFish 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…
MoreFish mortality at hydropower plants
In order to be able to evaluate the threat to different fish species from hydropower objectively, this project will apply the method of the mortality risk index to fish for the first time. Based on…
MoreFloating 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…
MoreFuture 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…
MoreGround-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…
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…
MoreInPositiv
Climate protection and nature conservation cannot be separated: The predicted climate developments will foreseeably lead to changes in landscapes and a considerable extinction of species. Renewable…
