‘Birds avoid turbines far more than prediction models assume’: Spoor’s AI monitoring is changing how wind farms measure wildlife risk
One of the biggest hurdles facing new wind farms is proving how wildlife interacts with turbines in the real world. Developers and regulators need to understand how wildlife interacts with wind turbines, but much of the current process relies on intermittent surveys carried out by human observers using binoculars or…
