Automatic Bat Monitoring & Protection
DTBat® is a self-working System that detects bat presence in real-time, and takes automatic actions linked to bat detection.
Remarkable applications of DTBat® System are:
- Autonomous Bat Monitoring.
- Bat Mortality Reduction through automatic actions.
DTBat® Clients have access to the DTBat® System recordings through an online Software Application named DTBat® Data Analysis Platform (DAP).
DTBat® Detection Module
DTBat® Detection Module surveys the airspace with Bat recorders, detecting and recording bat passes in real-time. Installation design and operational settings are customized for any Target Species and WTG dimensions.
DTBat® Detection Module is equipped with 1 to 3 Bat recorders installed at height on the WTG tower and/or on the nacelle. Recorders are placed in specific locations to achieve the best surveillance of the moving blades area.
DTBat® Stop Control Module
DTBat® Stop Control Module automatically Stops and restarts WTG according to bat activity detected in real-time and/or environmental variables.
Stop trigger and Stop duration criteria are adjustable to target Species or to cover a % of the total bat activity detected (e.g WTG stopped for 95% of the bat activity detected).
DTBat® Data Analysis Platform (DAP)
DTBat® DAP is a complete online Software Application to provide transparent access to review bat sonograms, environmental data and WTG operational parameters. Graphics and Automatic Service Reports for selected periods are also available. Includes two access right levels: Analyzer and Manager.

DTBird systems have been deployed successfully in an offshore environment since 2016, starting with the Offshore platform Fino1 (North Sea). Recently, a new and improved design for the cameras’ housing was developed. This housing gives greater protection against corrosion and humidity in a marine setting. For every wind farm, DTBird prepares a specific Engineering project to accommodate camera location, orientation and fixing to the wind turbine and/or transition piece, whether it’s a fixed or floating Wind Farm. New incoming Offshore projects will benefit it! New DTBird Offshore Camera Design

Since last year, the company began to implement an organizational cybersecurity policy, which ultimately improves the manufacturing of the DTBird & DTBat systems. The cybersecurity procedures include the fulfillment of IEC 62443, an international standard which applies to Wind Farms as these are considered large industrial communication networks and systems. Consequently, all the areas of the company were technically aligned, ranging from Human Resources (employee selection and cybersecurity awareness) to the hardening of the DTBird & DTBat systems (all hardware components included).
