BirdRecorder
With BirdRecorder, a powerful detection system for bird species sensitive to wind power was developed and tested. The system is initially designed for the detection of red and black kites. As an…
MoreBirds and wind energy use
Appropriately addressing the requirements of nature conservation at all planning levels is of great importance for any renewable energy expansion project. To this end, the project analyses selected…
MoreBiWiBi - Sustainable combination of bifacial solar modules, wind energy and biomass with simultaneous agricultural land use and increase in biodiversity
Concepts for the sustainable combination of bifacial solar modules, wind energy and biomass with simultaneous agricultural land use and increase in biodiversity
MoreCapercaillie and wind energy
A planning basis published by the FVA in 2019 to better consider the capercaillie when planning wind turbines in the Black Forest.
MoreChanges of use in Natura 2000 sites
To what extent is the network of Natura 2000 protected sites affected by the expansion of renewable energies? The project will examine this question by selecting methods and remote sensing data and…
MoreEE100 – Fully renewable and environmentally compatible
How can we design a future environmentally compatible power supply using renewable energies? A detailed examination of emerging technologies in the energy sector from a nature conservation viewpoint…
MoreEffectiveness of bird flight diverters
Bird flight diverters are used throughout the world to reduce collisions by birds at overhead power lines and the additional mortality associated with this. Their effectiveness is determined by…
MoreEffectiveness of mitigation measures
There is a wide range of current measures used to minimise the adverse effects of wind turbines on birds. These include regulating the operation of the turbine, preventing birds being attracted to it…
MoreEKNA – Environmental impacts of underground cables and options for an environmentally-compatible transmission route design
Underground cables as an alternative to overhead transmission lines are increasingly under discussion. The project examines the effects of different extra-high voltage underground cable systems on…
MoreEnergy concepts and nature conservation
Although the extent of renewable energies has so far only covered a relatively minor proportion of the total energy requirement in Germany (approx. 14.6% of final energy consumption), in places…
