Eagle Behavior and Risk Modeling for Wind Energy Webinar

On March 29, 2022, NREL hosted a webinar on eagle behavior modeling with applications for wind energy.

NREL presented recent progress in the development and validation of new eagle behavioral models, highlighting applications for wind-plant siting and operations. Following the presentations, a Q&A session solicited feedback on model capabilities and future directions, followed by a hands-on working session for those interested in exploring the models.

Explore the event agenda. 

Watch the webinar recordings and see the presentation slides on the following topics:

• Project Overview
• Mesoscale Modeling
• High-Fidelity Microscale Modeling of the Atmosphere
• Simulation-Based Model for Facility-Scale Eagle Presence Mapping
• Heuristic Improvements to the Stochastic Soaring Raptor Simulator (SSRS)
• Near-Turbine Eagle Tracking
• Application Example – Micrositing
• SSRS: GitHub Overview and Step-by-Step Walkthrough
