Ultrasonic Acoustic Deterrents for Bat Protection at Wind Turbines
One of 10,000+ projects Taiyo tracks in Texas.
Source: Department of Energy (.gov)
The project involves the development and testing of ultrasonic acoustic deterrents (UADs) mounted on wind turbine nacelles to discourage bats from approaching and reduce fatalities. The project includes constructing an open-air flight cage for experimental trials and developing software to track bat flight behavior in response to UADs.
