The LTT24 is successfully used to protect the environment during the construction of an offshore wind farm
An example of application with the LTT24 is the construction of an offshore wind farm in the North Sea with consideration for the settled whale population. The pier attachment to the seabed triggers enormous pressure waves that are harmful to the sensitive hearing of the whales.
With the help of underwater microphones, the LTT24 measuring systems record and analyze the high-frequency whale songs. A recorded whale communication allows their position to be determined and is an indicator of their presence in the environment. Work is only carried out when there are no whales within a certain radius.
In this way, the production of renewable energies is being promoted while whales are being protected as far as possible.
