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 Aug

 

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).

New DTBird Offshore Projects on the horizon!
25 Feb

As the Offshore wind market continues to grow across regions, so does the demand to install and operate DTBird & DTBat units. DTBird has unique features of bird monitoring, mortality mitigation, and even collision control that comply with the Environmental Authorizations. 

 DTBird Offshore units undergo a higher customization of equipment, cabling, fixing, communications and cybersecurity to fulfill the quality, durability and robustness needed for operation in marine weather conditions. 
 
DTBird is operating in the North Sea since 2016 and has been installed in 3 Offshore Projects and 5 Near-shore Projects. Lately, DTBird has completed 5 Engineering Design Projects, to be installed in new Wind Farms.

Installation of DTBird Technology on Saitec's first floating offshore wind deployment
10 Jul

A DTBirdV4N2 Model was installed at the beginning of June, on the "BlueSATH", a 1:6 scale prototype of a 10MW wind turbine using SATH floating technology at the Astander Shipyard located in Santander, Cantabria, Spain. It is comprised of 4 HD daylight cameras and 2 HD thermal cameras, provding 360º coverage of the Rotor Swept Area. The prototype will be finally installed in El Abra del Sardinero. The data gathered at the site will shed more light on the species' type, behaviour and activity patterns.

DTBird has already provided engineering technical support for the integration in 6 Offshore projects.

DTBird&DTBat systems comply the CE Marking
15 Jan

Since the beginning of 2019 all DTBird&DTBat modules have been tested to evaluate the fulfillment with the European Economic Area (EEA) regulations regarding safety, health, and environmental protection. At the end of 2019 an accredited laboratory has confirmed that DTBird&DTBat systems comply with these regulations and so, the CE Marking was granted. This is another step forward to internationally validating the product across the European region and further beyond.
