The U.S. Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to Iowa State University (ISU) to develop a robust, passive, blade-mounted ultrasound deterrent to significantly reduce bat mortality in existing and new wind farms. The objective of the project is to design, develop, and demonstrate the ultrasonic sound generation capability of the bat-deterrent device in laboratory tests.
