BCAS Wind

BCAS Wind

Automated bird detection and deterrence for on and offshore wind farms. Detects up to 1000 m., deters up to 400 m. — reducing turbine stoppages for uninterrupted green energy production. Operates 24/7 in all weather, no human intervention required.


The BCAS Wind Technology

Detection

Panoramic Thermal Imaging Camera

  • Two units per turbine for full 360° coverage
  • Detects birds up to 1000 meters away
  • Works in all weather, including zero visibility
  • Detects multiple birds simultaneously

Deterrence

Acoustic Module

Powerful. Precise. Proven.

  • Triggers Acoustic Startle Reflex (ASR) for instant reaction
  • Powerful emitter, effective up to 400 m
  • Unique sound prevents habituation, avoids harassment
  • Minimal noise — active only on detection
  • Focused sound waves target specific birds

Data

Monitoring and Control Center

  • Modular, web-based application
  • Video record of every detection
  • Full remote access to all functions
  • Fast storage and retrieval of data
  • Statistical database with detection logs
  • Graphical data analysis for quick insights
  • WTG control modules for generator shutdown when required
