DTBird & DTBat participation at CWW 2019

This past August, DTBird and DTBat participated in the Conference on Wind Energy and Wildlife Impacts 2019 (CWW 2019), held from August 27th to 29th in Stirling, Scotland. The event is one of the main international forums addressing the interaction between wind energy and wildlife, bringing together researchers, developers, regulators and technology providers.

Contributions to the Wind–Wildlife Technology Workshop

On the second day of the conference, Agustín Riopérez took part in the Wind–Wildlife technology workshop, a session dedicated to practical lessons learned from operational wind farms and the integration of technological solutions. His contribution highlighted:

• Integration of DTBird and DTBat systems in daily wind-farm operations.
• Lessons learned from turbine OEMs, consultants and developers.
• Improvements in data interpretation for bird and bat activity.
• The importance of objective, real-time monitoring.

A strong emphasis was placed on operational transparency from a technological perspective. Participants discussed the need for accurate data to enhance cooperation between operators, researchers and regulators, and to deepen the understanding of bird-collision events at wind farms.

DTBird presentation on offshore monitoring upgrades

On the final day of the conference, DTBird presented the talk: “Upgrades in offshore bird monitoring: from DTBirdV4 at FINO 1 to DTBirdV8N2 at Kincardine Wind Farm.”

The presentation addressed:

• Evolution of offshore monitoring systems between 2015 and 2019.
• Advances in thermal and daylight camera integration.
• Expanded detection ranges and improved species-identification capabilities.
• Operational findings from floating offshore wind environments.

These upgrades demonstrate DTBird’s commitment to improving monitoring tools for challenging offshore conditions, especially for floating wind farms, which require robust and adaptive detection technologies.

Strengthening international collaboration

The DTBird DTBat participation at CWW 2019 reinforced the company’s position as a leading provider of AI-led bird and bat monitoring systems.
Engagement with industry experts at CWW contributes to the development of best practices, supports regulatory dialogue and promotes technological innovation that aligns wind-energy production with wildlife conservation.
