The Front CoverThe wind industry has long recognised its responsibility to minimise harm to bats and has implemented mitigation strategies to reduce fatalities. NRG’s Bat Deterrent System’s Bat Deterrent Unit emits ultrasound in the same range as bats’ natural calling frequencies. By reducing bat activity near turbines, this technology minimises the need for curtailment, allowing wind plants to maintain higher energy output while supporting bat conservation efforts. You can read more about the system at page 6.
