RESEARCH ON EFFECTIVE BIRD DETECTION AND PROTECTION SYSTEMS IN WIND FARMS

Research of an effective system for detection and identification of avifauna in wind farms that deploys deterrence or emergency shutdown strategies to prevent bird mortality due to collisions.

Objectives: Design of a hardware and software infrastructure for bird detection, identification and trajectory calculation, as well as deterrence and collision-mitigation systems.

Outcomes: Prototyping and validation of the new identification and deterrence system.
