The International Best Practice for Bird Detection and Collision Avoidance for Wind Farms
IdentiFlight detects, classifies, and quantifies risk to sensitive bird species so that turbines are efficiently curtailed. Energy production is maximized while risk is minimized.
What is IdentiFlight?
IdentiFlight® is the industry-leading technology in detecting and identifying species of interest in wind farms. IdentiFlight’s technology combines high-performance optical systems with proprietary machine vision and artificial intelligence software. The IdentiFlight system has completed multi-year independent validation and has been deployed at projects internationally since 2018.
In an operating wind farm, IdentiFlight contributes to bird conservation by helping protect species from collisions with rotating wind turbine blades. The system provides informed curtailment to specific turbines to reduce energy loss.
For wind projects in development, IdentiFlight accurately quantifies bird activity at prospective sites. The species abundance data gathered by these IdentiFlight study units assists with the permitting and approval process.
Core Technology
Stereo and wide-field-of-view cameras, proprietary software, and neural network technologies process images to determine 3D position, velocity, trajectory, and protected species of interest — all within seconds of detection.
Verification
Independently studied in the U.S., France, Germany, Sweden, and Australia, IdentiFlight has been proven to reduce bird fatalities by >85%.
Shut Down on Demand
Detects and identifies sensitive species to monitor and in some cases initiate an informed curtailment, slowing targeted turbines to ≤2rpm through the customer’s SCADA network. Operators report ≤1% power generation loss.
Global Presence
Our international footprint spans five continents with more than 520 IdentiFlight stations, supported by five global partners.
Innovation
Proven performance and ruggedization to operate in the most challenging geographic regions. Future initiatives for night-time and offshore applications.
