Madrid, October 7th, 2025 – DTBird® announces the publication of the technical specifications for the offshore ALBATROSS system.
Engineered for offshore conditions, the DTBird® ALBATROSS system comes in seven configurations - A4, A6, A8, A10, A12, T2, and T4 - enabling project-specific designs across rotor diameters, target-species profiles, and objectives (monitoring, collision control, and/or mortality mitigation) to meet marine operational requirements.
Main Features:
- Marine-grade components: engineered for harsh offshore exposure (salt/spray and temporary immersion), with UV-resistant and impact protection.
- Detection module: Maximum distance up to 800 m with graphics of detectability at any distance and detection distance ranges with detectability >90% for species like northern gannets and kittiwakes.
- Night detection module: VGA thermal cameras enable automatic bird detection in low-light and night conditions at sea.
- 360º horizontal coverage and up to 90º vertical coverage with real-time detection of all bird species and sizes including the rotor swept zone.
- Collision detectability in videos >95%.
- Deterrence module: automated acoustic signals (250–12,500 Hz); efficacy demonstrated in independent onshore evaluations (REWI 2024, ECOCOM 2016). Configurable triggers for daytime/nighttime high bird-activity thresholds and for forecast-based high-activity periods.
- Stop module that automatically shuts down the wind turbine based on real-time bird collision risk evaluation with 4 stop protocols, from basic to high protection. Optional configuration available for bird flight activity thresholds.
- Data integration with wind farm SCADA/PLC systems via multiple protocols.
- All events, videos and operational data are stored and accessible via DTBird’s NEST platform, with protected access and integrated analytics.
