Automatic Collision Control upgrade released

23 Fév

A new upgrade has been released for the Collision Control Module of the DTBird^® worldwide units. By analyzing the historical collision recordings of worldwide DTBird^® units, we have set parameters to automatically mark videos where a collision can be recorded.

1-5 % of the flights registered in DTBird^®online platform gather 60-80% of the collisions recorded in the videos.

A great advantage to find collision events in wind farms with high bird activity on & offshore!

DTBat's 11th anniversary!

23 Fév

In 2012 DTBat® was installed for the first time at a Wind Turbine Generator (WTG). DTBat® service is available on & offshore worldwide. It has already been installed in Austria, Belgium, France, Italy, Poland, Switzerland, Spain, and The Netherlands.

Automatic WTG shutdown connected to bat activity thresholds is the logical approach to protect bats while maximizing electricity production.

How does it work?

DTBat® has 2 modules: Detection and Stop Control. DTBat® Detection module uses ultrasound detectors (1 to 3) to monitor real-time bat activity. DTBat® Stop control module triggers the stop signal according to bat activity thresholds.

Offshore Redesign of Camera Housing

01 Oct

DTBird systems have been deployed successfully in an offshore environment since 2016, starting with the Offshore platform Fino1 (North Sea). Recently, a new and improved design for the cameras’ housing was developed. This housing gives greater protection against corrosion and humidity in a marine setting. For every wind farm, DTBird prepares a specific Engineering project to accommodate camera location, orientation and fixing to the wind turbine and/or transition piece, whether it’s a fixed or floating Wind Farm. New incoming Offshore projects will benefit it!

Cybersecurity Compliance

06 Aoû

Since last year, the company began to implement an organizational cybersecurity policy, which ultimately improves the manufacturing of the DTBird & DTBat systems. The cybersecurity procedures include the fulfillment of IEC 62443, an international standard which applies to Wind Farms as these are considered large industrial communication networks and systems. Consequently, all the areas of the company were technically aligned, ranging from Human Resources (employee selection and cybersecurity awareness) to the hardening of the DTBird & DTBat systems (all hardware components included).
