Presented at: European Wind Energy Conference 2004, London, UK, 22-25 november 2004.
Abstract:
A new method for monitoring of bird
collisions has been developed using video and audio registrations that
are triggered by sound and vibration measurements. Remote access to
the recorded images and sounds makes it possible to count the number
of collisions as well as to identify the species. After the successful
proof of principle and evaluation on small land-based turbines the system
is now being designed for offshore wind farms. Currently the triggering
system and video and audio registration are being tested on large land-based
wind turbines using bird dummies. Tests of three complete prototype
systems are planned for 2005.
