Presented at: European Wind Energy Conference 2003, Madrid, Spain, 16-19 juni 2003.
Abstract:
ECN has developed a bird collision recorder, which detects and registersbird collisions with wind turbines. Experiments with simulated bird
collisions show that the event can be heard with by microphones, so
detected, and registered. A video clip of the event can be used to identify
the species. At the moment two systems are being installed and running
satisfactorily at two different sites. Both systems haven't recorded
any bird collision and also no birds have been found in the vicinity
of the wind turbines.
