Participation in Wind and Nature Symposium, in The Netherlands
DTBird & DTBat participated as guest speakers at the Wind and Nature Symposium organised by the Flevoland Province, a Dutch public administration body. The event took place on November 14th and focused on interactions between onshore wind farms and wildlife, with a particular emphasis on monitoring technologies and biodiversity protection.
During the session, Agustín Riopérez presented the key features of the DTBird and DTBat systems, highlighting how both technologies support bird and bat protection at wind farms through automated detection, recording, and real-time mitigation actions.
The presentation included:
- An overview of visual and acoustic detection capabilities.
- Examples of collision-avoidance functionalities.
- The role of automatic stopping systems at turbine level.
- Case studies from ongoing projects in several European countries.
This contribution illustrated how DTBird and DTBat systems help wind-farm operators meet environmental requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.
Focus on system operation in a Dutch wind farm
A specific section of the presentation focused on the operation of DTBird and DTBat systems in a Dutch wind farm, sharing results, operational challenges, and data on species detected in the area.
These insights were well received by environmental authorities, consultants, and wind-industry representatives attending the symposium.
Strengthening collaboration between wind energy and biodiversity
The participation of DTBird and DTBat in the Wind and Nature Symposium supports ongoing collaboration with Dutch institutions and reinforces the company’s commitment to transparent wind power and wildlife protection. The event provided an opportunity to exchange technical knowledge, discuss regulatory developments, and highlight the value of real-time monitoring technologies in sustainable wind-energy development.
