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…

Small 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…

Songbird 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…

Species and site protection in planning
The main focus of the project is to standardise and optimise the processes for the legal review of species and site protection at higher planning levels. This concentrates in particular on the higher…

Species 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…
