Operating wind farms (Onshore)

  is the state of the art in bird monitoring techniques and mitigation measures to accomplish environmental requirements in wind farms.

• DTBird^® has been specifically developed to reduce bird mortality in operating wind farms
• DTBird^® can perform the following tasks in operating wind farms:
  • Bird detection in real time.
  • Warning and dissuasion of birds flying in moderate/high collision risk areas.
  • Wind turbine stop linked to real time detection of birds flying into collision risk areas.
  • Potential bird collision record linked to real-time detection of birds flying in high collision risk areas.

Benefits

• Bird mortality reduction by means of warning and dissuasion signals to birds flying 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.

Operation schema

1. DTBird^® Detection continuously monitors surveillance area and detects flying birds in real time; 
2. DTBird^® Dissuasion emits warning/dissuasion signals to birds flying in moderate/high collision risk areas; 
3. 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;
4. DTBird^® Collision Control records potential collisions.
5. Data produced by all modules and environmental variables are recorded, and service reports, available on line, analyze recorded data.
