Detection of wind turbines rotary motion by birds: A matter of speed and contrast
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 5, Issue 10, October 2023., 2023 Some bird species may detect low‐speed rotation on wind turbines as static. A low contrast between the wind turbine and its background increases the rotation speed treshold at which this phenomenon appears. Automatic Detection Systems used to slow down wind turbines when birds are approaching may thus be counterproductive.

Wind Turbines, Public Acceptance, and Electoral Outcomes
Swiss Political Science Review, Volume 28, Issue 4, Page 712-727, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Despite a widespread public support for wind energy in general, wind turbine proposals attract a considerable amount of public opposition. At a time of political commitments to building more wind turbines for climate risk mitigation, we study the potential causes of this opposition and its electoral effects.

L’opposition aux projets éoliens terrestres, une forme de contestation « territorialisée »
Géographie et Cultures, 2020 The aim of the article is to understand how opposition to wind energy is expressed locally, both in terms of substance and form, in order. The study illuminates the "paradox" of the energy transition: on the one hand, a relatively good acceptability of ...

Assessment of Turbulence Models for Flow Simulation around a Wind Turbine Airfoil
Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011 This investigation focuses on the application of the computational fluid dynamics tool FLUENT to the study of flows over the NACA 63–415 airfoil at various angles of attack. With the aim of selecting the most suitable turbulence model to simulate flow around ice‐accreted airfoils, this work concentrates on assessing the prediction capabilities of ...

Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 6, Page 1437-1448, June 2025.Data from automatic detection systems are a promising non‐invasive approach that requires few human and logistical resources to develop a more comprehensive bird collision risk mitigation strategy. They can be valuable to biodiversity stakeholders to highlight environmental factors that locally increase bird exposure and sensitivity, to avoid ...

Insectivorous bats alter their flight and feeding behaviour at ground‐mounted solar farms
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 328-339, February 2024.The negative effects of solar farms on bat flight and feeding behaviour should be considered when solar energy projects are planned. Research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying the effects; for example, shading underneath solar panels may reduce plant biomass and therefore insect prey availability.
