DTBird® Detectability Report The company has published the results of a DTBird® detectability report in which the detection capabilities of its latest models (F4, A4, F6, A6, and T) were evaluated. The study used a controlled field methodology to measure both maximum and effective detection distances. It provides wind farm operators and environmental managers with ... Evaluation of Detectability and Detection Distances for the new DTBird models

DTBird systems were evaluated by the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI) in two wind farms: Manzana (California) and Goodnoe Hills (Washington), to measure the detection and deterrence effectiveness in large raptors, especially Golden and Bald Eagles. The REWI technical report, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy and supported by multiple stakeholders in the renewable energy ... DTBird System Proves Effective in Reducing Eagle and Raptors’ Collision Risk at Wind Farms: Key Findings from the REWI Technical Report

Scientific evaluation of the DTBat® system in wind turbines with high mortality of bats. Liquen Consultoría Ambiental S.L. (DTBird&DTBat) has a product, the DTBat®, with more than 40 systems installed in several countries since 2012. DTBat uses ultrasonic detectors with microphones installed in various positions, tower and/or nacelle, according to the characteristics of the wind ... DTBird seeks Operators for DTBat system evaluation

DTBird’s ability to detect and deter large raptors, particularly golden eagles, and to reduce the risk of collisions with wind turbines (WTG) was evaluated in the USA by H.T. Harvey & Associates for the American Wind Wildlife Institute. The evaluation was carried out in 7 DTBirdV4D4 units installed in 2016 in a California wind farm, ... Results of the Pilot Evaluation of DTBirdV4D4 Detection and Collision Avoidance Modules in the USA

In 2015, Ecocom AB (now a part of Calluna AB), in collaboration with Vindform, initiated a pilot project to install and evaluate the DTBird® bird collision avoidance system under Swedish wind farm conditions. The project focused on analyzing bird detection capabilities, collision risk reduction and avoidance behaviour around wind turbines. Evaluation of the DTBirdV4D4 bird ... Results of the latest evaluation of DTBirdV4D4 in Sweden

DTBird, in cooperation with the Spanish Wildlife Recovery Center (GREFA) and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of the Complutense University of Madrid, has completed the first phase of a research program focused on improving its bird collision avoidance system for wind turbines. The project aims to develop more effective species-specific acoustic deterrence solutions based on ... DTBird finishes first phase of a research program to improve the Collision Avoidance module

DTBird®, in collaboration with the American Wind Wildlife Institute (AWWI), now known as the Renewable Energy Wildlife Institute (REWI), was selected for funding by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) under the program “Wind Energy-Eagle Impact Minimization Technologies and Field Testing Opportunities”. The project focused on evaluating and improving DTBird technologies designed to reduce eagle ... U.S. Department of Energy funds evaluation of DTBird® System.

DTBird® launched an open demonstration project in Sweden. The aim was to provide wind energy professionals, environmental consultants and other interested stakeholders with first-hand experience of its bird monitoring and collision risk reduction technology. The initiative was organized in cooperation with Ecocom AB and Vindform. Registration was open to participants interested in learning more about ...
