Wind turbine, biogas plant and a maize field

Agrivoltaics and nature conservation

Agrivoltaics – ground-mounted photovoltaics – play a key role in the expansion of renewable energies. In addition to the prevailing low-mounted solar farms, whose acreages are withdrawn from…

Anti-collision systems in practice

The project "AKS-Praxis" examines the applicability of anti-collision systems under the new regulatory requirements of the Federal Nature Conservation Act (BNatSchG). In addition to technical…

Assessment of the impact of new generation wind turbines on birds and bats

The technical development in the wind power industry is constantly advancing with an increasing number of new turbine types. Therefore, the conflict potential for nature conservation must also be…

Bat migration routes

Wind turbines present a potential threat to migrating bats. However, there is very little known about their migration routes, so these cannot be taken into account when planning wind turbines. This…

Batmobile - Impact of offshore wind farms on bats in the German Bight and the Baltic

As part of the expansion of renewable energies in Germany, the further expansion of offshore wind energy is also planned. Consequently, there is an increasing risk of collision and thus mortality for…

BATMOVE

The project aims to improve and link information about the spatial and temporal distribution of migratory bats across the North and Baltic Seas. This will create an initial basis for developing…

Bats and wind energy - significance threshold, tower microphone

The "significance threshold" in many regional guidelines (Länderleitfaden) specifies how many dead bats per wind turbine (WT) and year are tolerable. So far, the threshold has been based in most…

Bats and wind energy in woodland I

The project's objective is to collate and evaluate existing data to identify and limit the effects of WT on bats in woodland and to remedy any relevant gaps in knowledge by examining case studies.…

Bats and wind energy in woodland II

The object of this research project is to establish whether and to what extent wind turbines at forest sites have a negative effect on bats, disturb them or even threaten them to a significant…
