Turbine layouts#
Sector: Offshore renewable energy - Environmental impact mitigation OWF
Classification: MSP - Development of the activity
Description#
Turbine layouts should be planned to avoid barrier effects: placing turbines parallel to migration routes, planning corridors between clusters for safe flight routes, and increase space underneath rotor blades to reduce collision rates for local birds.
