A review of the effectiveness of operational curtailment for reducing bat fatalities at terrestrial wind farms in North America

Curtailment of turbine operations during low wind conditions has become an operational minimization tactic to reduce bat mortality at terrestrial wind energy facilities. Site-specific studies have demonstrated that bat activity is higher during lower wind speeds and that operational curtailment can...
