Studying bird behavior at Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm
Official Press Release Eneco:
Gulls avoid wind turbines Eneco Luchterduinen more often than thought
Research into bird movements in and around Eneco Luchterduinen offshore wind farm by means of cameras and radars shows that most gull species already start to take evasive action at greater distances from the turbines.
If they do move into the area where the blades are moving, they very often evade them successfully. Knowledge in the field of the impact of offshore wind farms on birds is still developing. The results of the studies make it possible to calculate the number of expected collision victims even more accurately for future wind farms and to apply solutions that further reduce the number of collisions. At Eneco Luchterduinen... ... More: Official Press Release Eneco
