This book presents a selection of new insights in understanding and mitigating impacts on wildlife and their habitats.  Topics such as, species behaviour and responses; collision risk and fatality estimation;  landscape features and gradients, are considered. Other chapters in the book  cover the results of current research on mitigation; compensation; effectiveness of measures;  monitoring and long-term effects;  planning  and siting.Examples are given of current research on shutdown on demand and curtailment algorithms.By identifying what we have learned so far, and which predominate uncertainties and gaps remain for future research, this book  contributes to the most up to date knowledge on research and management options. This book includes presentations from the Conference on Wind Energy and Wildlife impacts (CWW15), March 2015, hosted by the Berlin Institute of Technology, which offered a platform to national and international participants to showcase the current state of knowledge in wind energy’s wildlife implications.

The accompanying ecological research for using wind energy in the German North and Baltic Seas is part of a series of research projects in the German Government's Investment Programme for the Future. It has brought out a variety of results about possible effects on the marine environment. This book provides an overview of the state of the accompanying ecological research in Germany. The main objective of the book is to show the relevance of the new results of these research projects for the planning and permission process for offshore wind energy plants.This book was kindly supported and funded by:Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU)andJülich Research CentreThe Project Management Organization Jülich (PtJ)

This cross-sectional, interdisciplinary study traces the “history of innovation” of renewable energies in Germany. It features five renewable energy sectors of electricity generation: biomass, photovoltaic, wind energy, geothermal energy and hydropower. The study tracks the development of the respective technologies as well as their contribution to electricity generation. It focuses on driving forces and constraints for renewable energies in the period between 1990 and today.
