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® System stores recordings of every bat pass detected (sonogram) and the action taken.
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 three access right levels: Analyzer, Viewer&Reporter and Viewer.

Latest News
At first, at the end of 2015, DTBirdV4 started operating in the Offshore Platform Fino 1, over 40km offshore in the North Sea, contracted by the Bundesamt für Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie (BSH). This year the models DTBirdV4D8 and DTBirdV8 have been installed for the first time in onshore wind turbines in Lower Saxony and Bavaria.DTBird will participate in the following events, the first one giving the guest lecture of "fieldornithology" at the University of Applied Sciences Weihenstehphan-Triesdorf on April the 10th. In the second event DTBird will attend WindEnergy Hamburg at hall A1, stand 203 on September 25-28th.
First DTBirdV8 unit and DTBatD3 unit have started operating in Windpark Krammer, located in Zeeland, The Netherlands. Additional units will be installed during the wind farm construction until 2019.These are the first DTBird&DTBat units installed in concrete towers.
The model DTBirdV4D8 has been installed in the Wind Farm Terna, in Thrace (Greece) under the project LIFE12 BIO/GR/000554. This project aims to demonstrate the practical application of post-construction assessment and post-construction mitigation. DTBird was already participating in the LIFE project with the model DTBirdV4D4 that started operating at the Wind Farm and the Park of Energy Awareness (PENA) of CRES at Keratea (Greece) at the beginning of 2016.
Two DTBirdV4D8 units are operating with Collision Avoidance module D8 (8 speakers distributed at 2 heights, below the lower point reached by the blades and below the nacelle). Each unit has two settings (sound activated/muted) which switch from one to the other every week. Every week one unit has the sound activated and the other the sounds muted. The wind farm is located in Castilla y Leon (Spain) and the most frecuent species detected in the vacinity of the wind turbines are: Gyps fulvus, Milvus milvus, Buteo buteo and Falco ssp. The collected data will be used for the species…
