The solution
In response, Biodiv-Wind SAS has developed the system.
is an innovative real-time automated detection system for flying fauna that relies on a unique video processing software capable of detecting and tracking moving targets even when moving through rotating wind turbine blades.

- Engage if necessary and according to configurable risk levels, scaring and/or regulating actions
- Maximizes the output by triggering a regulation of the wind turbine once the risk is proven.
- Limits the phenomena of habituation of the fauna to sound scaring and neighborhood inconvenience.

How it works


- 8 HD -IP66- cameras fixed onto the wind turbine mast at about ten meters high from the ground and covering 360 ° horizontally and 240 ° vertically around the wind turbine.
- 4 IP 66 horns also attached to the wind turbine mast.
These elements are connected to a computer unit, installed inside the mast of the wind turbine, which analyzes in real time and continuously the received video streams in order to detect any intrusions.
In line with the detection parameters, which can be scaled according to the installation site requirements, engages automatically scaring and/or regulation actions. These actions are automatically stopped as soon as the birds/bats are off the risk zone.
