Bird and bat species' global vulnerability to collision mortality at wind farms revealed through a trait-based assessment.
Mitigation of anthropogenic climate change involves deployments of renewable energy worldwide, including wind farms, which can pose a significant collision risk to volant animals. Most studies into the collision risk between species and wind turbines, however, have taken place in industrialized countries. Potential effects for many locations and species therefore remain unclear. To redress this...
متن کاملMortality at wind-farms is positively related to large-scale distribution and aggregation in griffon vultures
Wind-farms have negative impacts on the environment, mainly through habitat destruction and bird mortality, making it urgent to design predictive tools to use in landscape planning. A frequent assumption of wind-farm assessment studies is that bird distribution and abundance and bird mortality through collision with turbines are closely related. However, previous results are contradictory and q...
متن کاملThe precautionary principle and wind-farm planning in Andalucía
Population Viability Analysis (PVA) is an appropriate, scarcely used tool to assess potential impacts on population dynamics of man-induced mortality. Therefore, the study of Carrete et al. (2009) is a valuable contribution to the assessment of the impact of wind-farms on birds due to collision mortality. Nevertheless, the results and conclusions presented by the article could create confusion ...
متن کاملDo terrestrial animals avoid areas close to turbines in functioning wind farms in agricultural landscapes?
Most studies on the effects of wind energy on animals have focused on avian and bat activity, habitat use, and mortality, whereas very few have been published on terrestrial, non-volant wildlife. In this paper, we studied the utilization of functioning wind farm areas by four terrestrial animals common to agricultural landscapes: European roe deer, European hare, red fox, and the common pheasan...
متن کاملReliability Assessment of Power Generation Systems in Presence of Wind Farms Using Fuzzy Logic Method
A wind farm is a collection of wind turbines built in an area to provide electricity. Wind power is a renewable energy resource and an alternative to non-renewable fossil fuels. In this paper impact of wind farms in power system reliability is investigate and a new procedure for reliability assessment of wind farms in HL1 level is proposed. In proposed procedure, application of Fuzzy – Markov f...
