Vattenfall, an energy company in collaboration with a Norwegian start-up Spoor tracked the flight path of birds inside a wind farm, close to the turbines.
This is a new project at the Aberdeen Bay Offshore Wind Farm, that uses AI to shed light on the interaction between birds and wind turbines.
This approach should be able to prevent and avoid possible collisions.
Currently four cameras have been installed and are collecting data in Aberdeen Bay.
The experiment is scheduled to be completed and the results published in 2024, in June.
Experts working on the project said that having well understood, high quality data is necessary to have the evidence base needed to protect seabirds and plan the offshore wind farms of the future in the right way.
Such parks, we recall, are needed to properly address ongoing climate change and ensure clean, renewable energy.
