The Main Features Are:
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 and kittiwakes.
Night detection module: VGA thermal cameras enable automatic bird detection in low-light and night conditions at sea.
360º horizontal coverage and up to 90º vertical coverage with real-time detection of all bird species and sizes including the rotor swept zone.
Collision detectability in videos >95%.
Deterrence module: automated acoustic signals (250–12,500 Hz); efficacy demonstrated in independent onshore evaluations (REWI 2024, ECOCOM 2016). Configurable triggers for daytime/nighttime high bird-activity thresholds and for forecast-based high-activity periods.
Stop module that automatically shuts down the wind turbine based on real-time bird collision risk evaluation with 4 stop protocols, from basic to high protection. Optional configuration available for bird flight activity thresholds.
Data integration with wind farm SCADA/PLC systems via multiple protocols.
All events, videos and operational data are stored and accessible via DTBird’s NEST platform, with protected access and integrated analytics.
