nvbird®️ is a pioneering Bird Detection and Monitoring System, with application in Wind Energy on-shore and off-shore, with significant benefits for the environment. As more and more wind parks are built around the world, low-conflict areas for wind turbines are becoming scarce, the global need for bird protection is rising and there is also a clear need for more accurate and reliable solutions to permit coexistence with biodiversity. Α winner of many major innovation awards, nvbird integrates state-of-the-art equipment, software as well as an AI and Machine Learning platform. It relies on specialized algorithms, according to which the system detects and identifies birds flying dangerously close to the turbines, analyses their path, activates loudspeakers with sounds to deter them and if it is absolutely necessary, it stops the turbine until they are not in danger.
