IdentiFlight
Avian collisions with turbine blades have been an issue within the wind energy industry and an impediment to growth. The IdentiFlight® Bird Detection System was developed to address this problem and promote the successful coexistence of avian wildlife and wind energy. The IdentiFlight system blends artificial intelligence with the high-precision optical technology to detect eagles and protect them from collisions with rotating wind turbine blades. Automatic detection and species determination occur within seconds for birds flying within a one kilometer hemisphere around an IdentiFlight tower. If an eagle’s speed and flight path indicate risk of collision, a signal is generated to shut down that specific wind turbine. By empowering wind farm operators with highly targeted, informed and objective curtailment decisions, unnecessary and costly interruptions are avoided and conservation of protected species is achieved. IdentiFlight is a product of Boulder Imaging, machine vision experts.
