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…

Bats and wind energy in woodland III
The continued environmentally compatible expansion of renewable energies is progressing. Sites in woodland, for example, are being increasingly developed for wind energy. There is still a need for…

BatWind (X-Energy)
To protect bats, the causes of collisions with wind turbines are being researched and risk reduction measures and bat-friendly lighting on onshore wind turbines are being developed.

BeBeO - Bird migration detection at offshore wind turbines
A sub-project is developing a study design that quantifies the attraction effect of night-time lighting of offshore wind turbines on bird migration and determines the effects on collision risk.
