DTBird has released a new software upgrade for the DTBirdV8 model that reduces the FP rate 80% without increasing bird collision risk. This means that the Wind turbines with DTBirdV8 installed will stop less frequently based on an object which is not a bird. Progressively, all DTBird operational units will be updated with the software upgrade.

DTBird&DTBat smart and transparent wind power continue growing in line with Liquen’s mission “Develop, manufacture and install technologies to make Wind Energy compatible with Wildlife preservation through automatic & real-time protection”.
The new DTBird&DTBat units installed in Asia, Europe and North America include onshore, near-shore and offshore projects.
Over 200 units installed in 14 countries - On&Offshore
This past August, DTBird & DTBat participated in the Conference on Wind energy and Wildlife impacts 2019 (CWW 2019) which took place on August 27th - August 29th in Stirling, Scotland. On the second day of the CWW, Agustín Riopérez participated in the Wind-wildlife technology workshop: considerations for integration at operational wind farms and lessons learned from wind farm operators, turbine OEMs, and technology developers. A strong focus was placed on data and operational transparency from a technological development perspective. Tools were proposed to encourage and promote further cooperation between all parties involved as well as to enhance the understanding of bird collision events. On the last day, DTBird gave a talk titled: Upgrades in offshore bird monitoring: from DTBirdV4 at Fino 1 to DTBirdV8N2 at Kincardine wind farm.

In the first quarter of the year, over 35 DTBird & DTBat units have been installed in France, Germany, Greece, The Netherlands and Spain. Over 50 additional units are expected to be installed in the Q2 - Q3 of 2019 in North America, Asia and Europe.
We look forward to working together in the near future!

The Kompetenzzentrum Naturschutz und Energiewende (KNE) will host a two-day Conference at the KulturBanhoff in Kassel, Germany on May 15th - 16th. The theme for the conference is Bird protection at Wind Turbines: Detection systems as an opportunity for a nature-friendly wind energy development? During the Conference we will answer questions from the audience. DTBird & DTBat will be attending as an Exhibitor, to present its systems to German wind industry and wildlife professionals. DTBird systems are currently operating at three Wind Farms in Germany. Some of the upgrades exhibited include:
Image Resolution analyzed in real-time: +67%
Maximum Detection Distance: +26%
Video Recording Resolution (stored in the Online DAP): +200%
