Title
Radar demonstrator for bird monitoring in wind farms
Abstract
Potential collisions of birds with power plants frequently result in temporary shutdown of concerned turbines enforceable by law. Thus, the need of appropriate sensors for bird monitoring in wind farms is growing. As radar in general has the potential to become one of these sensors, a purpose-built demonstrator is presented in this work. It aims for investigating the chances and problems of radar for bird monitoring inside wind farms.
