Abstract

CHALLENGE
Knowledge of bird and bat interactions with offshore wind technologies over multiple scales is a critical knowledge gap.

SOLUTION
Technological innovations in bird and bat monitoring will reduce uncertainties regarding wildlife impacts and minimize non-technical project risks prior to offtake.

MESOSCALE
ThermalTracker-3D (TT3D) imagers provide flight trajectory with feature extraction for species level identification based on shape, size, and flight behavior.

MACROSCALE
Marine S-band, pulsed Doppler 3D radars provide presence/absence, relative abundance, passage rate, flight height, and flight direction to 2–3 km range at 360° and 6–8 km range at 90°.

MICROSCALE
Structural health monitoring system to detect and characterize blade strike events; informed by models, calibrated and validated on actual blades.
