In 2015 Ecocom, in collaboration Vindform, initiated a pilot project to install and showcase the DTBird system, and to evaluate how the DTBird system performs under Swedish conditions. The report (in Swedish) can be found in the following link: Pilotinstallation av DTBird-systemet i Sverige Möjligheter med skyddssystem för fågelfaunan vid vindkraftanläggningar – erfarenheter från Sveriges första installation av DTBird. Ecocom AB. Amongst others it includes the following results:
The system is viable for bird detection and enables species' identification of large and medium-sized birds.
The system offers effective protection above all for large birds by reducing their dwell time in the risk area between 61-87%.
The system triggers avoidance behaviour in 88% of cases where the bird is on a collision course with the wind turbine. An individual observation was performed for the White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) where the avoidance behaviour was noted as well.
The reports' sumary was translated to English by DTBird in the link: Experiences from Sweden's first DTBird instalation. Ecocom AB.
The video of the White-Tailed Eagle (Haliaeetus albicilla) collision avoidance is available in DTBirdteam Youtube channel: DTBird Collision Avoidance: White-tailed Eagle.
Although DTBird research program started in 2005, in Mach 2009 the first DTBird unit was installed at a wind turbine of Sammca Group, in Spain. Currently over 90 DTBird&DTBat units are distributed in 11 countries.
Ever since, DTBird has been under continuous evaluation, research and improvement process with incomes from scientists, computer engineers, ornithologists and veterinarians from many countries. Current DTBird specifications can be found in the link: DTBird System Specifications for Wind Turbines. February 2017.

DTBird has participated in REScoop.eu Interregional Conference “Renewable energy: now more than ever!”
DTBird has participated in the event organized by the European Federation of Renewable Energy Cooperatives (REScoop.eu). The Conference took place in Eupen (Belgium), on January 17th, 2017. The event discussed the coverage of renewable energy: society, technology, economics, spatial planning and the environment. DTBird participated in the WORKSHOP 1 (Wind turbines and their impact on avifauna), with the presentation “DTBird, Bird Smart and Transparent Wind Power. Now more than ever!”.

DTBirdV8D10 model is designed for large on & offshore wind turbines, with 8 HD cameras it reaches bird detection up to a distance of 600 m and 360º around the WTG. In addition, Collision Avoidance module D10 entails 10 Speakers at 2 heights that assures proper sound distribution in the entire rotor swept area.
The DTBatD3 model includes 3 bat detectors distributed along the tower of the wind turbine at the height of the rotor swept area. This unique model, together with the bat Stop Control module assures proper bat protection at large wind turbines.
These DTBird® and DTBat® models have been installed in a 140 m height and 112 m diameter wind turbine in Austria.
DTBirdV8D10 & DTBat D3 units installed in Austria.
In the following months, 9 additional DTBird® & DTBat® units will be installed in Austria and the USA. With these installations, the number of units installed worldwide will reach 82, distributed throughout 11 countries. See the updated DTBird® brochure with the installations map.

Sistema Automático de Monitorización y Protección de Aves
DTBird® es un Sistema Automático de monitorización de avifauna y/o reducción del riesgo de colisión de aves con aerogeneradores terrestres o marinos. El sistema detecta automáticamente las aves y, opcionalmente, puede realizar 2 acciones independientes para mitigar el riesgo de colisión de aves con los aerogeneradores: la activación de un sonido de aviso y / o la parada del aerogenerador. Etapas de R&D.
Módulos de Detección y Registro de Colisiones
Cámaras de Alta Definición monitorizan 360º alrededor del aerogenerador detectando las aves en tiempo real, mientras almacenan vídeos y datos. Vuelos de alto riesgo de colisión e incluso colisiones son grabadas en los videos con sonido accesibles a través de Internet. Las características concretas de cada instalación y el funcionamiento se adaptan a las especies objetivo y el tamaño del aerogenerador.Módulo de Prevención de Colisiones
Este módulo emite automáticamente sonidos de advertencia para aves que se encuentran en potencial riesgo de colisión y sonidos desalentadores para evitar la permanencia de las aves en el entorno de las palas en movimiento. El tipo de sonidos, niveles de emisión, las características de la instalación y la configuración de funcionamiento se ajustan a: las especies objetivo, las dimensiones del aerogenerador y la legislación acústica. No produce pérdidas de la producción de energía y es eficaz para todas las especies de aves. Módulo de Control de Parada
Realiza automáticamente la parada y reactivación del aerogenerador en función del riesgo de colisión de aves medido en tiempo real. Ajustable a especies/grupos de aves objetivo.
Plataforma de Análisis
La Plataforma Online de Análisis de Datos proporciona un acceso transparente a los vuelos registrados, incluyendo: vídeos con sonido, variables ambientales y datos de funcionamiento del aerogenerador. Gráficos, estadísticas e incluso informes automáticos están disponibles para períodos seleccionados. Se incluyen 2 niveles de derechos de acceso: Analista y Gestor.
Presencia mundial de DTBird® & DTBat®

Latest News
DTBird® has released the results of an independent study evaluating the detection capabilities of its latest bird monitoring models (F4, A4, F6, A6, and T). The assessment, conducted by the company, used a controlled field methodology to objectively measure maximum and effective detection distances for each model, providing wind farm operators and environmental managers with transparent, verifiable performance data. The evaluation involved controlled flights with a 1.42-meter wingspan avian-mimic drone, which simulated a medium-sized bird of prey. Flights were performed under stable weather conditions, covering a wide range of distances, angles, and trajectories. The drone’s GPS positions were synchronized with…
