This session focuses on advances necessary for acceptance and broad implementation of curtailment strategies that reduce bat fatalities while also minimizing power loss. Speakers will share their experiences advancing smart curtailment strategies in a variety of ways. Attendees will learn about the latest advances incorporating bat activity based on acoustic and thermal camera data and about a modeling approach to inform planning and implementation of smart curtailment based on real-time bat monitoring.
