Multi-Year Research Provides Further Confirmation that Eagle Fatalities in Wind Farms Can be Greatly Reduced by Using IdentiFlight
The study update confirms that eagle fatalities can be reduced by 85 percent with the implementation of IdentiFlight’s targeted, informed curtailment based on data collected from 2018 to 2021.
Can A.I. Stop Rare Eagles Flying into Wind Turbines in Germany?
“IdentiFlight spent three years testing its anti-collision systems at six supervised sites across Germany, and says its neural network boasts rates of more than 90% for recognizing and classifying red kites, the first birds of prey it has been trained in for German territories.”
Bird Protection System In Operation At Wind Farm In Tasmania
The Cattlehill Windfarm in Tasmania’s central highlands is trialing a way to mitigate the impacts on the endangered Tasmanian wedge-tailed eagle. Using [IdentiFlight], eagles are detected, their flight path analyzed, and turbines in their way are shut down.
Duke Energy Uses IdentiFlight System to Detect Birds and Prevent Collisions with Wind Turbines
IdentiFlight is a network of camera units that watch for bald and golden eagles. When a camera detects an approaching object, the system, using machine learning and artificial intelligence, determines if it’s an eagle within seconds. IdentiFlight will track the eagle and stop nearby turbines from spinning if the bird gets too close.
