Description

Offshore Wind Environmental Standards Pilot – Blade Painting

Total Quantity or Scope

Project aim This pilot project will trial turbine blade painting to assess whether turbine blade painting is successful in reducing avian collision risk in an offshore wind context. Project ObjectivesThe turbine blade painting pilot is designed to establish whether turbine blade painting is successful in reducing avian collision risk in an offshore wind context. The objectives for the pilot will be to identify whether and for what species turbine blade painting is effective in increasing avoidance rates, the likely range(s) in increased avoidance rates, and what un-intended consequences there are (e.g. increase in distance and/or magnitude of displacement). The pilot will consist of two closely connected projects: a laboratory trial which tests and optimises the efficacy of different blade patterns under controlled conditions, and a field trial testing their effectiveness offshore.
