Bat Detection

Nature protection is an important topic for all wind farm operators. Renewable energy has to be in harmony with species conservation. Hence, during site assessment and later during wind farm operation the behaviour of local species, e.g., bats, should be evaluated. Particularly protected and endangered species should not be affected by wind power generation in their habitat.

Ammonit offers a solution to detect and monitor bats and their behaviour. The bat detection system includes a high-sensitivity microphone to listen to the ultrasonic sound of the animals. This way the system records number and frequency of bat passes. Via our Meteo-40 data logger you can conveniently integrate the bat detection system in the SCADA system of a wind farm, e.g., to stop a wind turbine, when any bats are active.
