Protection system for STORKS

Research Area
Sustainable Energy Systems
Pioneering project to study and implement a protection system that prevents contacts of White Stork in the distribution grid masts of electrical energy in a given pilot area, in order to avoid nesting and minimize the risk of death for the species. This avoids also the construction and nesting sites that are critical to maintaining air service network distribution of electricity. In this project is used a technology that reproduces audible sound frequencies and ultrasonic signals. The system uses also an automatic system which only acts when there is the presence or approach of a stork.
