This site-wide search returns results for all documents, events, metadata, and stories in Tethys, prioritizing the best matches. Partial word matches are returned (e.g. "environment" finds "environmental"), but every entered term must be found. If you don't find any results, try reducing the number of words entered or removing special characters. Filters to the right can help narrow your search. Tethys now features an integrated search with other marine renewable energy databases in PRIMRE - click the buttons below "Showing Results for" to search other integrated databases.

OES-Environmental
The guidance documents are intended to be available for regulators and advisors as they carry out their decision-making and for developers and consultants as they prepare consenting and licensing applications. This stressor-specific document presents an overview of the scientific information that is known for collision risk. It is…

Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS)
Recognizing the importance to society of an adequate and stable energy supply and that renewable energy sources can significantly contribute to achieving this, and aware that renewable power generation, especially from wind energy, large solar panel power stations, and biomass production, is projected by the International Energy Agency to triple by 2035, Recognizing also that the rapid…

Malzer et al.
In this paper, we report on a newly developed 34 GHz radar system and its field application in the wind energy testing site WINSENT on the Swabian Alb (Germany). The envisaged sensor system addresses the early detection of birds for a bird-friendly wind turbine operation. In this way, wind turbines could be adaptively controlled to reduce the collision risk of endangered species. Besides the…

There is an increasing awareness that knowledge of the functional diversity of a community is key to understand how the community responds to environmental and anthropogenic pressures. The Belgian Part of the North Sea (BPNS) represents a highly dynamic area that is subject to a variety of human activities. The main objective of this study is to investigate the…

Willmott et al.
Knowledge of the movement and behaviour of birds and bats around turbines in the offshore marine environment is critical for assessing the environmental impacts of offshore wind developments in the eastern USA. To address the problem of gathering high-quality, long-term data on these species in this remote environment, we designed a multi-sensor system that was recently deployed for 6 months…

In a recent article (James 2008) I provided information about some bird species nesting near wind turbines, where I had found nests for those species. In this articleI will look more generally at bird populations in areas near wind turbines, as revealed by breeding bird surveys. In order to try to assess any potential effects of wind turbines on bird populations, it is usual to undertake a…

Duriez et al.
The impact of bird mortality by collision on windfarms has often been evaluated at the individual level, but rarely at the population level. The Lesser kestrel Falco naumanni is an endangered short-lived migratory raptor, susceptible to collision with wind turbines. We evaluated the impacts of windfarm turbine collisions on the demography of the largest lesser kestrel population in…

Assembly Bill 525 (AB 525, Chiu, Chapter 231, Statutes of 2021) directs the California Energy Commission (CEC) to complete and submit a permitting roadmap for offshore wind to the Natural Resources Agency and the relevant fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature. This report addresses these requirements to describe permitting time frames and milestones for a coordinated, comprehensive,…

With the rapid acceleration of wind energy development there is a growing need to meet the consequences this has for the natural environment. Failing to mitigate environmental impacts is an important cause of conflict in wind energy projects, leading to costly delays in planned wind energy development. It is therefore of the utmost importance to identify effective solutions and measures to…

Bat Conservation International
More than half of the 154 known bat species across North America are at risk of severe population decline in the next 15 years, according to the first-ever State of the Bats Report published by the North American Bat Conservation Alliance (NABCA), a multinational coalition from the United States, Mexico, and Canada, including Bat Conservation International. Experts believe that as many…

The Wind Energy End-of-Service Guide is divided into four sections. The Life of a Turbine section focuses on the service life of a wind turbine, what happens when they reach end of service, the overall recyclability of a project, and what is being done to improve recyclability. The Repowering section focuses on replacing components or full turbines with newer technology, how these activities…

Wang et al.
The global demand for renewable energy has resulted in a rapid expansion of offshore wind farms (OWFs) and increased attention to the ecological impacts of OWFs on the marine ecosystem. Previous reviews mainly focused on the OWFs’ impacts on individual species like birds, bats, or mammals. This review collected numerous field-measured data and simulated results to summarize the ecological…

Musial et al.
The United States has embarked on a pathway to achieve a 100% carbon-emissions-free electricity sector by 2035 and zero carbon emissions nationwide by 2050. Wind energy, both land-based and offshore, is expected to be a principal contributor, with offshore wind currently gaining a foothold in U.S. oceanic regions. Most offshore wind energy activity has been driven by individual states and…

Society in Energy Transition and Justice: Social Acceptance and Contribution to Wind Energy Projects
Society’s acceptance of renewable energy projects has a significant influence, since it provides an easier installation and operation of the infrastructure. Therefore, citizens’ engagement in the energy transition is essential. Τhis literature review was conducted to identify people’s attitudes towards wind farms, as well as ways in which these protests fade out. According to the literature,… - Journal Article:

Increased pressures from human activities may cause cumulative ecological effects on marine ecosystems. Increasingly, the study of ecosystem services is applied in the marine environment to assess the full effects of human activities on the ecosystem and on the benefits it provides. However, in the marine environment, such integrated studies have yet to move from qualitative and scorebased to…

Given the significance of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) taking place in Glasgow this year, the Supergen (Sustainable Power Generation and Supply) programme identified COP26 as a crucial opportunity to connect UK energy research to wider climate change, net zero and renewable agendas. The six Supergen Hubs collaborated to deliver the Net Zero Conference (NZC) from 1-3…
