DTBird&DTBat Team participated in WindEnergy Hamburg 2018
DTBird and DTBat technicians participated in WindEnergy Hamburg 2018, one of the most important events in the international wind energy sector. During the four-day trade fair, the team presented the improvements incorporated into the latest models and explained how these updates help strengthen bird protection and environmental monitoring at onshore and offshore wind farms.
In addition, DTBird and DTBat representatives held meetings with more than 50 companies, public operators, and independent organizations. These discussions focused on real operational needs and the role of technology in reducing risks to wildlife in environments with high wind activity.
Presentation of Results and Technical Updates
During the event, the latest results of the evaluation of the DTBirdV4D4 model, conducted in the United States, were also shared. This study highlighted improvements in detection, image analysis, and deterrence rates, generating considerable interest among attendees. The companies present particularly valued the availability of verifiable, real-time data, a key aspect for environmental planning and regulatory compliance.
The DTBird and DTBat team also presented the software and hardware updates that will be incorporated into current and future models. These improvements aim to facilitate system integration into existing wind farms and ensure more efficient operation, even under complex environmental conditions.
DTBird and DTBat Expansion in Germany
DTBird currently operates two onshore wind farms in Germany, where it collects continuous data on bird interactions with the turbines. Over the next few months, the system is scheduled to be installed at a new site, which will expand the database available for analysis and validation.
Furthermore, DTBird has been operating for over two years on the FINO 1 offshore platform, a benchmark environment for marine research projects in Germany. This experience has made it possible to demonstrate the behavior of the system in maritime conditions, characterized by constant winds, changes in light, and variable presence of seabirds and migratory birds of prey.
