WEST Webinar | Innovative Solutions for Bat Conservation: Exploring WEST’s Optimized Smart Curtailment
June 5 @ 12:00 pm - 12:30 pm CDT
WEST develops innovative and cost-effective methods to reduce bat fatalities at wind energy facilities. One solution is optimized smart curtailment (OSC), an algorithm-based approach for clients needing to comply with incidental take permits (ITP) and other regulatory requirements or simply wanting to minimize impacts on bats. Join our webinar to learn about the latest exciting updates. In this webinar, you will learn about:
- How we collect data to inform OSC Model
- Why OSC is more cost-effective than other curtailment solutions
- How the OSC algorithm uses data to craft site-specific curtailment parameters
- How WEST ensures the algorithms we produce are compatible with your turbine control systems
- What the return on investment is for OSC
- How we use our Renew database to inform the OSC model
