The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to American Wind Wildlife Institute (AWWI) to developing and evaluate a smart curtailment strategy integrated with a wind turbine manufacturer platform. The goal of the project is to develop and independently evaluate a smart curtailment strategy based on bat activity (i.e., acoustics and thermal video), bat fatalities, and environmental variables using the Vestas Bat Protection System (VBPS).
