- There are several studies showing that birds react to light in the UV spectrum that humans can not see. If we find that the birds on Smøla react to light we set up, we can use UV light to create a sort of fence around wind turbines for the long term to prevent birds flying into them, says Øyvind Hamre Engineer at NINA to TU .
- In the beginning we light around the hours each day. Towards the end of the project we make a randomization of the light, the trap till the birds get used to the UV light and stop avoiding it. Then we can try one out pulsed light, says Hamre.
The two UV lights are on two different wavelengths in the UV spectrum. The candles are placed outside the wind farm including not to disturb the already ongoing project, which also includes the use of radar measurements.
UV lights should instead be mounted on Veiholmen top led on Haugøya, in the area where Statkraft will set up a giant havvindturbin to test potential turbine technology to the next Dogger Bank project in UKCS.
- Here, further out on the coast, we know that there are a lot of birds. Our main focus will be to test the effect of UV lights, but we will also collect data on the occurrence of birds in the area where they plan to set up test turbine, said Hamre.
