DTBird®, teamed up with the American Wind Wildlife Institute, has been selected to be funded by the U.S Department of Energy under the program “Wind Energy-Eagle Impact Minimization Technologies and Field Testing Opportunities”. DTBird® Detection and Collision Avoidance Modules´ ability to detect and to reduce the overall collision risk to eagles will be improved and evaluated. More specifically, researchers will assess how well the DTBird® Detection Module detects eagles, how strongly eagles respond to the sounds emitted by DTBird® Collision Avoidance Module, and calculate how much the DTBird® system reduces the overall risk to eagles.

21 DTBird® units will be installed during 3Q 2016 in France, Greece, Spain and the USA, including the DTBirdV4D4 and DTBirdV4D8 models. In addition, a wind turbine will be equipped with the new DTBird® Detection Module for day & night.
Evaluation of the DTBird® Collision Avoidance Module presented in Wind Wildlife Research Meeting XI. Denver. Nov 29 - Dec 2, 2016
DTBird® has participate in the event with the poster "Evaluation of the Application of Warning and Discouraging Sounds Automatically Emitted from Wind Turbines on Bird Collision Risk: Case Studies in Sweden and Switzerland". This poster includes a summary of the evaluation of DTBird® Collision Avoidance Module placed in 2 wind farms, one in Switzerland and the other one in Sweden. After the evaluation took place, DTBird® upgraded those models and developed new models that are now available in the website download section.

DTBirdV8D10 model is designed for large on & offshore wind turbines, with 8 HD cameras it reaches bird detection up to a distance of 600 m and 360º around the WTG. In addition, Collision Avoidance module D10 entails 10 Speakers at 2 heights that assures proper sound distribution in the entire rotor swept area.
The DTBatD3 model includes 3 bat detectors distributed along the tower of the wind turbine at the height of the rotor swept area. This unique model, together with the bat Stop Control module assures proper bat protection at large wind turbines.
These DTBird® and DTBat® models have been installed in a 140 m height and 112 m diameter wind turbine in Austria.

Sistema di monitoraggio automatico e protezione degli uccelli
DTBird® è un sistema di monitoraggio automatico dell’avifauna e/o di riduzione del rischio di collisione degli uccelli con turbine eoliche terrestri o marine. Il sistema rileva automaticamente gli uccelli e, opzionalmente, può eseguire 2 azioni separate per ridurre il rischio di collisione degli uccelli con le turbine eoliche: attivare un segnale acustico e/o arrestare la turbina eolica. Fasi di R&S.
<
Unità di rilevazione e Registro delle collisioniDetection
Le telecamere ad alta definizione controllano tutt’attorno alla turbina rilevando gli uccelli in tempo reale e memorizzando video e dati. Nei video con audio, accessibili via Internet, sono registrati i voli ad alto rischio di collisione e anche le collisioni. Le caratteristiche specifiche di ogni installazione e il funzionamento si adattano alle specie bersaglio e alla grandezza della turbina eolica.Unità di prevenzione delle collisioni
Questa unità emette in automatico dei segnali acustici per gli uccelli che possono trovarsi a rischio di collisione e dei suoni a effetto deterrente per evitare che gli uccelli si fermino in prossimità delle pale in movimento. Il tipo di suoni, i livelli delle emissioni, le caratteristiche dell’installazione e la configurazione per il funzionamento si adattano: alle specie bersaglio, alla grandezza della turbina eolica e alle normative sul rumore. Non genera perdite di produzione energetica ed è efficace per tutte le specie di uccelli.Unità di controllo dell’arresto
Esegue in automatico l’arresto e la riattivazione della turbina eolica in funzione del rischio di collisione degli uccelli misurato in tempo reale. Adattabile a specie/gruppi di uccelli bersaglio.Piattaforma di analisi
La piattaforma online di analisi dei dati offre un accesso trasparente ai voli registrati, tra cui: video con audio, variabili ambientali e dati operativi della turbina eolica. Grafici, statistiche e persino report automatici sono disponibili per determinati periodi. Sono previsti 2 livelli di diritti di accesso: Analyzer e Manager.
Presenza mundiale di DTBird© & DTBat©
Le caratteristiche di DTBird© sono richieste dalle autorità ambientali di un numero crescente di paesi. Più di 500 sistemi di DTBird© & DTBat© sono distribuite in più di 110 parchi eolici esistenti/previsti, terrestri/marini di 16 Paesi (Austria, Belgio, Cina, Francia, Germania, Grecia, Italia, Norvegia, Polonia, Spagna, Svezia, Svizzera, Taiwan, Paesi Bassi, Regno Unito e Stati Uniti). DTBird® è operativo presso WTG dal 2009 e DTBat® dal 2012.
