Development of a Collision Detection Module for Avian and Bat Species on Wind Turbine

Creator:

Davis, Cassandra L.

Abstract:

Renewable energy technology continues to grow in popularity as countries aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Land based and offshore wind turbines are one option for expanding renewable energy sources. However, as wind energy adoption increases, so does the need for enhanced monitoring of wind turbines’ potential effect on local...

Design and testing of an integrated wildlife-wind turbine interactions detection system

Creator:

Flowers, Jeremy Matthew

Abstract:

Bird and bat mortalities caused by interactions with wind turbines is a critical concern that requires addressing for conservation purposes. Deploying a low cost sensor array will be instrumental during site permitting, conducting impact assessments of existing wind farms, and assessing efficacy of wildlife mortality mitigation or wildlife deterrent technologies....
