TI - ProBat 7 – Intelligent wind turbine operation management for the protection of bats as a permit condition for wind turbines
AU - Johst, A
AB - ProBat was further developed within the framework of a project funded by the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN) and the bat-friendly farm management was thus optimised. Additional phenological data - e.g. for locations near the coast and in the south of Germany - were integrated into the software, thus improving the applicability in different landscape areas.In addition, a threshold value is now also calculated for the parameter temperature, based on the data recorded at the site of the wind turbine. For precipitation, a map is generated that makes it easier for ecology consultants to determine a threshold value. In the future, the ProBat database will be continuously improved and expanded through the online import of new data sets from the consultants’ nacelle monitoring. For consultants using the software it is possible to make the data available to the database. In addition to ProBat Version 7, ProBat Inspector was developed. This online tool enables approval authorities and wind farm operators to check the correct application of the ProBat results and compliance with the calculated operating algorithms.Another online tool, ProBat Designer, calculates a statistically optimised survey design from the number of WTs and the planned survey effort in a wind farm. The calculated design is based on the statistical scatter of the results of different turbines and years in the ProBat data set - characteristics of the respective site are not taken into account in the calculation. The design is therefore intended as a guide, which must be adapted to the respective site by expert knowledge.
