Bat Detection and Shutdown System for Utility-Scale Wind Turbines
In this study, EPRI and Normandeau Associates developed a hardware/software system that assesses risk of bat mortality at wind turbines based on real-time bat activity and weather data. The system curtails turbine operations when the mortality risk is high. The study evaluated the ability of the system to reduce bat mortality at We Energies’ Wisconsin […]
