DTBird joins the ranks of WindEurope and the AEE Asociación Empresarial Eólica! Both are well-known and respected entities in the wind energy sector at a European and a Spanish national level.

Why join now? Our technical expertise, market-tracked experience, and transparency in the niche of bird & bat monitoring systems are needed more than ever as more Wind Farms are planned to be built both onshore & offshore to meet 2030 renewable energy targets.

DTBird donates a Gas Filtration Cabin to GREFA!

20 Jun

This week DTBird donated a second-hand used Gas Filtration Cabin to GREFA, a Spanish wildlife recovery center located on the outskirts of Madrid. With the company's current business product division, there was no longer a need to use equipment such as this. With the previous visit to GREFA's installations at the beginning of the month, it was decided to donate the Cabin. It will be placed in the necropsy area to handle corpses with suspected infectious diseases. We are glad to give it a second life and boost the local circular economy!

Automatic Collision Control upgrade released

23 Feb

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 Feb

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.
