The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. (WEST) to design, develop, and test a multi-sensor system for quantifying bird and bat collision rates at offshore wind facilities. The project would further develop an existing detection system, with the goal of improving detection accuracy, image processing, and detection quantification. The system would be installed on existing turbines at land-based and offshore wind energy projects.
