Birds in danger: How wind turbines threaten the habitat
In today's edition it was announced that the fire chief of Mockrehna, Andreas Döschmann, will resign. The resignation comes at a time when important changes in the Torgau region are pending. In addition, the toddler swim in Torgau was announced for January 8, 2025, which offers parents and children in the area new opportunities for leisure activities.
Döschmann's resignation raises questions, especially with regard to the future management of the fire brigade. Further information on his withdrawal and the associated changes are currently sparse. Nevertheless, responsibility for the fire brigade will have to rest on new shoulders to ensure security in the community.
collision risk of birds and wind turbines
On the current discussion about wind turbines and their influence on the bird world, the EnBW has developed various strategies for reducing the collision risk of birds through wind turbines. These contain modern wind turbines that are equipped with radar systems or sensors to detect birds. If the system recognizes a closer bird, the rotor blades automatically stop, which significantly reduces the collisions.
In addition, the visibility of rotor leaves is improved by special markings. A Norwegian study shows that the blackening of a rotor blade can reduce the collision rate by almost 72 percent. Further measures include the design of the surroundings of wind turbines in order not to attract birds, for example by avoiding open water areas and attractive food sources as well as the creation of food habitats at a safe removal of wind turbines. enbw reports that the combination of technological innovations and well-thought-out spatial planning can promote bird protection and the expansion of wind energy.
