Integration of Wildlife Detection and Deterrent Systems in Wind Power Plants

December 6, 2018

Currently there is significant focus on developing technologies for detecting and deterring wildlife around wind power plants. For these technologies to become long term commercial successes, they have to be effectively integrated into wind power plants and the functionality must align with the workflows in the plant’s local and remote control rooms. If the integration of detection and deterrent systems is difficult and thus costly, this may delay the deployment on a large scale, prolong the risk to the species that need protection, and in the end result in increased leveled cost of energy as well as increased cost of service to the energy consumer.

10 Cleantech Trends in 2022

whitePaper | May 24, 2022

Renewables are already the cheapest source of new power generation in most markets across the world. Cost declines due to technology evolutions and rapid policy advancements have triggered new investments, leading to further capacity additions and price drops. In the case of solar PV, investors and governments have come to expect continuously lower capex. In recent years however, as the technologies have matured, the capex of solar and wind has declined at a slower pace and become subject to temporary supply chain hurdles, such as the past year’s escalating shipment costs, rising module prices and escalating steel costs.
