is the state of the art in bird monitoring techniques and mitigation measures to accomplish environmental requierements in offshore wind farms
- DTBird® has been specifically developed to reduce bird mortality in operating on and offshore wind farms.
- DTBird® application in operating offshore wind farms, can perform the following tasks:
- Bird Detection in real time.
- Warning/Dissuasion of bird flying in moderate/high collision risk areas.
- Wind turbine stop linked to real time detection of birds flying into moderate/high collision risk areas.
- Potential bird collision record linked to real time detection of birds flying in high collision risk areas.
- DTBird® has key strenghts for offshore operating wind farms:
- Low power consumption.
- Low maintenance.
- Easy installation.
- Remote control.
Benefits
- Bird mortality reduction by means of warning and dissuasion signals to birds in collision risk areas and/or wind turbine stop.
- Objective monitoring and analysis of bird activity and mortality.
- Bird species identification from records.
- Installation in individual wind turbines or in a complete wind farm.
- Continuous and unattended operation (7 days a week).
- Low power consumption.
- Low maintenance.
- Easy installation.
- Remote control.
Operation schema
- DTBird® Detection continuously monitors surveillance area and detects flying birds in real time;
- DTBird® Dissuasion emits warning/dissuasion signals to birds flying in moderate/high collision risk areas;
- DTBird® Stop Control sends a stop signal to the wind turbine following detection of birds in migratory path, or birds of medium to big size flying into moderate/high collision risk areas;
- DTBird® Collision Control records potential collisions.
- Data produced by all modules and environmental variables are recorded, and service reports, available on line, analyze recorded data.
