Simulation Analysis and Safety Risk Assessment of a Wind Turbine Blade Failure Event

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 28, Issue 7, July 2025.
ABSTRACT A common concern raised during the permitting of onshore wind farms is the potential risk posed by the release of failed turbine blades. Although there has been extensive analysis of blade throw risk based on simulated trajectories, there is a lack of empirical data with which to calibrate models and assess the true risk to public safety.

Flight behaviour of Red Kites within their breeding area in relation to local weather variables: Conclusions with regard to wind turbine collision mitigation

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 7, Page 1624-1635, July 2025.
Flight behaviour was highly variable. Flights occurred during all weather conditions at different altitudes throughout the day over the entire season. Further research into the relationship between flight behaviour, weather variables, collisions and other factors is needed as a basis for developing shutdown regimes generally suitable for raptors.

An ecological vulnerability index to assess impacts of offshore wind facilities on migratory songbirds

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 7, Page 1611-1623, July 2025.
Our methodology is readily applicable to other regions where offshore wind (OSW) development is planned and songbird migration is common, allowing research and monitoring activities to be targeted to species most likely to be negatively affected by OSW facility encounters. Abstract As offshore wind (OSW) energy expands globally, migratory songbirds are

Life‐cycle impact assessment of offshore wind energy development on migrating bird diversity in the North Sea

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 7, Page 1597-1610, July 2025.
Our findings stress the potential cumulative impacts to migrating birds from large‐scale offshore wind energy development in the North Sea by 2030 relative to wind farm energy production. The combination of long‐term bird ringing data and LCAs, which are already widely used by industry in other contexts, could be a useful tool for comparing potential ...
