A robust validation study design, carried out prior to Bat Deterrent System installation, can yield statistically reliable results that provide a preview of what success could look like at a wind site. This paper will cover some of the study designs that NRG Systems is aware of, including the benefits and drawbacks of each method.

The first trial in Asia of NRG’s bat deterrent technology concluded this July, showing reduced bat activity at two ponds in the Philippines while the system was in use.
Enel Green Power, one of the largest renewable energy producers in the world, has launched a trial of NRG’s bat deterrent technology at its Gibson Bay wind plant in South Africa.
Read MoreThis white paper explores the concept of attenuation and how it can impact the effective range of the NRG Bat Deterrent System.
Read MoreNRG Systems has developed a tool that will give wind project owners and operators the opportunity to preemptively assess the value of installing ultrasonic bat deterrents on their turbines.
Read MoreFor nearly two years, NRG Systems has worked with Eco-Tech Consultants to offer bat exclusion services on bridges managed by state department of transportation agencies. But a recent project in Bibb County, Georgia, was the first endeavor that called for the creation of a floating “bat barge” to keep a colony of nearly 350 bats out of harm’s way.
Read MoreThe company has led installations of NRG’s Bat Deterrent Systems in the United States and Canada, with more deployments on the horizon.
Read MoreDuke Energy Renewables recently published an article on their Illuminations website chronicling their experience with bat conservation and NRG's Bat Deterrent Systems.
Read MoreBats are notoriously difficult to study due to their small size, nocturnal habits, and penchant for hiding during daylight hours. Therefore, we were particularly excited when researchers from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) asked NRG to take part in an innovative study exploring how bats interact with ultrasonic acoustic deterrents.
