MUSE: Multi-sensor bird detection

BUSINESS APPLICATION

MUSE

Automated, multi-sensor bird detection application

Monitor bird movements on wind farms 24/7 to ensure regulatory compliance and eliminate the need for onsite staff.

MUSE

Wind farm developers and operators are facing increased demand to track bird behaviour. Regulations in many countries now stipulate shutdowns when rare species or large flocks of birds are approaching.

MUSE, the multi-sensor bird detection application, offers clear documentation of bird behaviour around wind farms, both before and after construction. Based on an integrated setup of radars and cameras, real-time bird behaviour is automatically recorded and displayed online. This provides developers and operators with frequent, high quality observations without the logistical constraints and risks associated with human access to offshore turbines and substations.

Regulatory compliance

Real-time bird monitoring is becoming a requirement for obtaining a license to operate wind farms

Automated operation with no human intervention

MUSE is built for enduring offshore and other harsh environments. Unlike traditional surveying with human operators, the system does not require staff in the wind farm for monitoring

User-friendly interface

The straightforward interface makes it simple to get an overview of real-time and historic bird movements in the wind farm

SCADA integration and species-specific collision mitigation

MUSE integrates with the SCADA system for automated feedback and mitigation of collision risk for specific species of birds. The system can be configured with AI-based species recognition to enable automated and controlled curtailment by interfacing with turbines and issuing shutdown-on-demand commands.
