DTBird® announces the publication of the technical specifications for the Offshore ALBATROSS system. Engineered for offshore conditions, the DTBird® ALBATROSS system comes in seven configurations - A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, T2, and T4 - enabling project-specific designs across rotor diameters, target-species profiles, and objectives (monitoring, collision control, and/or mortality mitigation) to meet marine operational requirements. Main Features: • Marine-grade components: engineered for harsh offshore exposure (salt/spray and temporary immersion), with UV-resistant and impact protection.• Detection module: Maximum distance up to 800 m with graphics of detectability at any distance and detection distance ranges with detectability >90% for species like northern gannets…

Kincardine Offshore Wind Ltd. (KOWL) has received feedback from NatureScot and official notification from the Marine Directorate Licensing Operations Team (MD-LOT) that Condition 22ai regarding post-construction monitoring of bird strike for the Kincardine floating offshore wind farm has been successfully addressed using DTBird® technology. Project Summary Location: 15 km off the coast of Aberdeen, Scotland, in the North Sea. Turbines: 5 Vestas V164 (9.5 MW, installed 2021), each equipped with the DTBird® V8N2 system to record avian activity and potential collisions, day and night. The first phase of the project included 1 Vestas V80 (2 MW installed in 2018), also equipped…

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…
