- Details
- Category: Product News
TNO, Dopplium and RWE are testing a radar-based monitoring system at Eemshaven in the Netherlands that tracks bats in real time. The technology could enable targeted turbine shutdowns when bats are at risk, rather than relying on broad precautionary shutdowns. The installation is part of the Turbine Bat Trace project, which started on 1 January 2026 with support from the Netherlands Enterprise Agency (RVO) through the EKOO Electricity 2025 programme. The system uses BatGuardian, a radar-based bat detection technology developed by Dopplium.
