Preventing and reducing birds and bats collision risk onto wind turbines while achieving production target is a growing challenge for wind farms operators and investors. To address this critical issue, Biodiv-Wind SAS has successfully developed SafeWind. SafeWind is a real time video-surveillance system dedicated to windfarm context and using an innovative motion detection algorithm allowing target tracking even between rotating blades. SafeWind: SafeWind is able to detect diurnal and nocturnal flying birds as well as flying bats in terrestrial or marine airspace, whatever the kind or highness wind turbines are.

The SafeWind system equips the wind turbines individually. A standard installation (2.5 MW horizontal wind turbine) for daytime birds includes: These elements are connected to a computer unit, installed inside the mast of the wind turbine, which analyzes in real time and continuously the video streams received in order to detect any intrusions. After selecting the detection parameters, which can be modified according to the stakes of the site, SafeWind commits by remote control or automatically acts of scaring or regulation. These actions are then stopped automatically as soon as the birds are out of the risk zone. For even greater efficiency, SafeWind can interact directly with the SCADA of the wind turbine. All intrusion events are logged and accessed by the client on a remote database. SafeWind components are lightweight and non-intrusive. They do not require structural modification of the wind turbine. |
